Nina Rose captures the elegance and femininity of women in her art. A modern-day Erte, her style is inspired by the 20th Century master
and deeply rooted in the Art Deco era. Using a combination of fashion and technology, Rose imbues an atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties in her works,
but with an exotic and luxurious twist. Rose has a taste for all that is extravagant. She adorns her delicate, slender figures in fashions from the 20’s and 30’s
and uses technological symbols, including classic automobiles, to create a sense of nostalgia.
