Paintings & Prints — Stories on Canvas and Paper

In addition to her bronze sculptures and objects, Nancy Faas creates a painterly world in which layering, symbolism, and feminine strength take centre stage. Her paintings and prints breathe the same poetic, narrative atmosphere as her three-dimensional work, yet they allow space for a more direct, intuitive visual language. Through brushstrokes, textures, and subtle lines, she captures stories on canvas and paper that often escape the boundaries of words.

Nancy’s paintings move between abstraction and figuration. They echo mythology, femininity, and the richness of human desire. Her use of colour is both powerful and subdued, with a preference for natural, sometimes muted tones reminiscent of classical frescoes or timeworn walls. In her prints, she further translates this visual language into works on paper — graphic interpretations that amplify the narrative character of her oeuvre.

In both her paintings and prints, Faas continues to play with layers of meaning, texture, and subtlety. What is visible is merely the beginning; the true stories reveal themselves to those who dare to look, to feel, and to take their time. With her work, she invites the viewer to become part of her universe — a world full of symbolism, beauty, and the whispered echoes of stories from another time.
