Hi…

I’m Nina Capaldi, a working artist and surface pattern designer from Scotland.

My art is a joyful explosion inspired by the world around me, my experiences mixed with my imagination and combined with my love of colour.

When I’m not working as an art technician, or looking after my family, you’ll find me at home immersed in a sea of art materials, working on a painting or some pattern designs, or maybe both.

Bright and fun patterns with a nostalgic vintage vibe

I’ve always been a sketcher, a doodler, maker and decorator. With my painting and pattern designing I’ve found the perfect outlet for my creativity. I have an eclectic taste in almost everything - fashion, food, decor, music etc but the one theme that is always in my mind is botanical and shapes in nature. Flowers and bold geometric prints are my favorites and appear in much of my work.

I sell my patterns through my shops on Spoonflower and Redbubble, which is a great way for me - as a working independent artist - to get my patterns out in to the world and on a wide variety of products and materials.

Unique acrylic paintings and prints of imagined floral arrangements and serene landscapes

What kicked my creative journey off was actually one of the worst times - when the covid outbreak hit the world in 2020. I was furloughed from work and to pass the time and try and remain positive I started painting. At first I copied some artists work I found on the internet and then, when I got a little bit of confidence, started creating my own compositions. There’s been a lot of trial and error throughout my process/journey, there still is lol, but I found that I loved creating paintings that could transport me out of the daily chaos and in to a calm and beautiful world of serene joy.

My flower paintings reimagine real blooms in bold and surprising designs, while my landscape paintings depict the calmness of the beaches and countryside near my home, inviting you to enjoy their beauty and tranquility.

Each piece reflects my passion for colour, nature, and nostalgic beauty, ready to enhance your home with a bit of magic.
