Nathan is an Irish figurative artist based in Co. Dublin, Ireland. Nathan specialises in acrylic paints and uses a contemporary and organic approach to achieve his compositions.
His work gives focus to figures in everyday life and insights to intimacy.
His work is primarily concentrated on figural painting. In particular his focus has been on the lack of representation of varying aspects of life such as within the LGBTQ+ community. He especially considers romantic art or scenes with subliminal references to affection as themes for exploration. As a gay person, it is a personal goal of his to subvert negative associations with people of varying backgrounds based solely on societal prejudice.
His work has been shown in prominent galleries such as the Royal Hibernian Academy, Outset Gallery and he has also been featured in the Irish Independent art column and heat one of the popular portraiture competition, 'Portrait Artist of the Year' 2022.
