Nina Pryde   派瑞芬

Nina Pryde was born in Hong Kong and she has practiced in various techniques and mediums for more than 30 years, including traditional and modern ink painting, calligraphy, prints, oil, acrylic, water colours, sculpting and ceramics. In 2007, Nina was awarded a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.

One of the creative concepts behind Nina Pryde’s paintings is to present new forms of artistic expression with the adaptation of traditional techniques. She has married history, architecture, and calligraphy with collage. Her pieces are technically distinctive. In her landscapes and three-dimensional works, one can see how traditional Chinese painting techniques and contemporary aesthetics beautifully blend together. Nina’s Ink Painting has been recognized with numerous awards including RMIT Outstanding Students Award in 2007, selection for exhibition in the 2009 Hong Kong Contemporary Art Biennial Awards and 2013 Hong Kong Contemporary Art Awards Finalist. Her work has been exhibited both internationally and in Hong Kong and is in the collections of the Museum and Art Gallery of the University of Hong Kong, the Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Hong Kong as well as private organizations and art collectors.

Nina is the honorary chairperson of the Hong Kong Ink Painting Society.
