Working as an artist since 2018, Mayte Nicole works primarily within the tradition of ink painting. Inspired by the sumi-e ink wash tradition of Japan, China, and other East Asian countries, the 29-year-old Nicole depicts surrealist scenes and the tropical landscapes of her youth in the Dominican Republic using black ink and paper sourced from antiquarian dealers. Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, she now lives and works mostly in Barcelona.
