Nick Paciorek aligns himself with a new generation of Fauvists, drawing from the work of famous Fauvist artists like Matisse, Chagall and Derain. He uses broad strokes of color for their emotional impact. Early in his career, an art critic called him the Mad Beast of Color in terms of how he applies color, and the name stuck. Each of his pieces is a celebration of light and color, a vivid interpretation of his subjects.

Large cities with active skylines, busy streets and hard edges are one of his favorite subjects. Another favorite are his lush landscapes and waterscapes with the intricate interplay of light, sea and watercraft. He has traveled the world – from Italy’s Dolomites to France’s canals to Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in search of inspiration, light and pattern – and the results live in his canvases.
