Nina Pryde is a HongKong modern ink artist specializing in the Painting of abstract landscapes using ink to create bold three dimensional images. Her work is marked by a conscious blending of Chinese and Western values with traditional Chinese culture.

Her landscapes feature collages taken from a photography collection put together during Nina’s extensive travels and are filled out with muted colours. The images portrayed are both real and illusory and bring to life memories and emotions that viewers can relate to from their own life experiences. Chinese calligraphy places the works in context within Chinese culture. Her style is unique within Modern Ink painting.

In 2007 Nina graduated Master of Fine Arts from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Her Graduation Project, “Sounds of Silence” secured the Outstanding Student Award and effectively launched her on a career in Modern Ink painting. Nina Pryde was a finalist in the HongKong Contemporary Art Biennial Art Awards in 2009 and her painting “Dancing in the Dark” took the Silver Award in the Open Category of UOB Art in Ink Award 2017. Her work has been recognized with many awards and through numerous exhibitions in Hong Kong and Internationally.

派瑞芬以香港當代抽象的水墨創作立體山水畫，縱橫揮筆濃淺交疊和結合中西方文化精萃和多種媒體作品，創意傳統和現代表達交流。

各地旅遊和攝影是她的喜愛，尋找和保留美好的回憶，她利用她的攝影創作以拼貼方式貼在作品上，虛幻與真實，浮動與沉默，觀感交匯，中國文化、書法並尋覓到發展，結緣在山水融和意味的結構性形象，更重視丹青墨韻，筆意風采，靈活顯露，開拓出新視野和當代藝術精神。
