About Artist & Art Details
Nicolle Menegaldo was born amidst the vibrant landscapes of Zimbabwe. Her nomadic lifestyle led her through various countries, each leaving an indelible mark on her artistic sensibilities. Now settled in the picturesque town of Newcastle Emlyn, Wales, Menegaldo finds herself rooted amidst the serene beauty of the Welsh countryside.
A multifaceted artist, photographer, and craftsperson, Menegaldo’s work bears the unmistakable imprint of her diverse cultural background. Her creations, revered for their distinctive charm and rustic allure, reflect a harmonious fusion of her African roots and European influences. Drawing inspiration from her childhood memories, Menegaldo’s art is imbued with a vivid palette of colours that evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia.
In her own words, “I am an artist based in Wales, UK, but was born in Africa, and my love of colour stems from memories of childhood growing up in the sun. I aspire to beauty in my Art, and I feel this is important for the upliftment of the human spirit.” Guided by a profound reverence for beauty, Menegaldo endeavours to transcend the mundane and evoke a sense of transcendence through her art. Much like poetry seeks to touch the divine with words, Menegaldo seeks to achieve a similar transcendence through the language of imagery, colour, and form.
