Desiree Nechacov

Desiree Nechacov is a Toronto based artist originally from Kitchener Ontario. She completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ontario College of Art and Design University in 2019 with a major in Drawing & Painting. Her painting practice uses the traditional means of oil paint on canvas and panel to investigate universal topics such as the polarities of life and the human subconscious. Working wet-on-wet, she creates an ephemeral quality that appears to be just on the verge of a discernible form. Vaguely figurative shapes begin to surface from a shroud, signifying an emergence of the unconscious. Her work stems from personal experience and a deep interest in philosophy, transpersonal psychology, and altered states of consciousness.
