Capturing Coastal Charm: Nasro Mo's En Plein Air Exhibition in Southport
The picturesque coastal town of Southport has long served as a muse for creative minds, and local artist Nasro Mo continues this rich tradition with his captivating en plein air paintings. From sun-drenched beaches and historic thoroughfares to the lively energy of public parks, Nasro's work vividly portrays the essence of everyday life in this Merseyside gem through his skilled use of oil and watercolour mediums.
A Shift to Outdoor Painting
Previously focusing his artistic efforts primarily on ink-based works, Nasro has embraced the practice of painting outdoors to authentically document the shifting colours, atmospheric moods, and natural light of his surroundings. This dedication to on-location creation is evident in beloved pieces such as Walking the Dog, Marshside and Autumn in Churchtown Village, which he produces regardless of challenging weather conditions, including cold and windy days.
"I find great joy in capturing the diverse palette of nature and observing people as they pause to view the scenes I'm painting," Nasro explains. "My focus is on depicting everyday life - bustling streets, dog walkers enjoying their routines, and individuals going about their daily activities."
Self-Taught Talent and Artistic Development
Despite having no formal training in art, Nasro has been drawing since his childhood years, cultivating a natural talent that has flourished over time. His extensive experience painting en plein air has significantly refined his abilities in realism, spontaneity, and atmospheric rendering, resulting in artworks that radiate authenticity and genuine connection to their subjects.
