Nyx Rowan is a multidisciplinary artist, ceramicist, and watercolourist based in Victoria, BC whose work reflects her reverence for the natural world.
Pairing graceful minimalistic shapes with a soft, earth-inspired colour palette, her artisanal ceramic wares are handcrafted slowly and mindfully with the intention to be functional pieces of art. Each wheel-thrown piece is unique in its subtly varied expression of the natural materials alchemized in its creation.
Within her visual artwork, Nyx occasionally utilizes a variety of mediums including gouache, ink, and pencil; though her primary & favourite medium is watercolour. Ever-fascinated by the intricacies of colour and our perception of it, her watercolour works are created using many layers of pigment to build up fine detail and depth of colour. She seeks to reflect within her paintings the transcendental beauty of the earth and the magic it contains, striving to highlight small moments of ethereal beauty found in the natural world that may otherwise go unnoticed.
Drawing inspiration from flora and fauna, mythology, animism, philosophy, and esoterica; Nyx’s work as a whole is intended to evoke a gentle sense of quiet beauty and peace in the present moment.
