My artwork is a visual tool meant for educating the people. I explore the teachings from navajo creation stories to remind myself of how to find the answers & solutions to life’s problems.
You will notice iconic symbols that represent ancient knowledge. The brush strokes, gradient backgrounds & shapes represent the colors seen in the mind’s eye of the seer. I am drawn to creating abstract landscapes manifested from the spirit realm so that the paintings become gifts of prayer, reflection & remembrance of the dine culture…
I paint the vivid visions of the past, present & future of the five fingered people.
Nathan N. Nez Sr., from Woodspring, Arizona on the Navajo Reservation, found his love of art at an early age.
After graduating high school, Nathan joined the army and was sent to fight in the War on Terrorism in Iraq from 2003-04. In the military, he would draw on the envelopes he sent home to family and friends so they would have a piece of his art work.
In 2010, Nathan enrolled in school at the University of New Mexico with plans to become an architect. He soon discovered he had never let go of his love for art and switched his major, earning a Bachelors of Art in Art Studio.
He continues to be a role model not only to his own children, but also to young Navajo boys and girls on the reservation. He strives to show them that no matter where you come from, you can be a successful person, with the only limits in life being the ones you set for yourself.
