About
Who is Nicholas Gantz?
Nicholas Gantz is an 18 year old visual artist and creator based out of the Orlando area. I am originally from Miami, Florida, and now attend The University of Central Florida. I started creating art at a young age, mainly throughout elementary school, but I was only making sketches and didn't take my art too serious.
It wasn't until the summer after my freshman year in high school that my passion to create reignited. After practicing and experimenting with new methods of creating, I started feeling comfortable in my art. In my last year of high school, I entered into local and state art contests, where I won my first art competition. This gave me the push to turn my hobby of creating art into becoming a Professional Artist.
Purpose
Through my art I want to create pieces that soothe the heart, call attention to reality, provide self-actualization, and that many can relate to. I want to make work that pertains to black culture but can also be applied to everyone. I want my talent and my message to be seen through every channel possible.
As an artist I want to shine a light on what others want to keep in the dark to help create a better tomorrow for the world we live in.
