Nemo

Victor Colesnicenco (Nemo) was born in 1968 in Chisinau, the capital city of Moldova. This Eastern European nation is known for its rich artistic heritage.

In particular he loved paintings, photography and from an early age he was determined to become an artist.

Nemo began intense inquiry into the style and techniques of the famous painters and impressed by the work of Ivan Shishkin, Ivan Aivazovsky, Pierre-August Renoir, Claude Monet, Salvador Dali and another artists.

"My goal as an artist is to be free", he says, "I want to be free to develop new techniques and investigate new subjects." His interest in multi-media art allows him to bring vastly different elements together as he constructs his very imaginative paintings.

Moving from city to towns throughout the countryside inspired a desire for further travel and Nemo took an opportunity to immigrate to Canada. His family decided to settle just north of Toronto, Ontario. To Nemo Canada is a gateway to the world. From his new home he is able to freely explore places all over the globe, with photo camera travelling and discovering of the beauty and excitement of new places. His work is widely collected and is represented in galleries throughout Canada, USA, and other countries around the world.
