Misure Nien's personal journey in fine art began in 1980, with the Impressionist painters influencing his artistic development. He is primarily an oil painter, but also enjoys landscapes and figurative works. Since 1990, he has been working with water as a medium and it has become his main endeavor and passion. He created a fresh brush technique to paint the water based medium that captures the fullness of life.
He travels around in search of new ideas and inspiration. He has traveled in Japan, South Asia and Europe. He uses carefully observed and directly executed brushes to paint subjects ranging from flowers and still life to landscapes and images. Each visual field is a new challenge, mentally and emotionally. He finds himself contemplating that "the simplest is the truth".
The images he paints sometimes reflect nature, music, people, a fascination with patterns of light, but often are simply an exciting design. He describes that as a painter, "my goal is to continue to grow spiritually and technically so that I can interpret and illuminate what I see."
All of these factors contribute to the emotional feeling in a painting. There is a unique relationship between the artist and nature, namely his intuition. He sees freedom and expression as much as any form of creative expression, the creation of a painting as an expression that conveys thoughts and feelings in a personal way.Gradually, his choice of medium is no longer obsessed with preference, and experimentation with various media has become another kind of pleasure in creation. He believes that the various experiences in life, even if he feels that there are no perfect things in the real world, will be presented through his paintings with true beauty and love.
