Colour realism · Portraits · Cover-ups — 10 years behind the machine
Colour that
holds its nerve.
Nico paints with needles: layered colour realism with saturated palettes built for brown and morena skin. Animal portraits, botanical colour pieces and full-colour sleeves — each packed to heal vivid, not chalky.
He is also the studio's cover-up specialist, famous for turning old, blurred work into pieces people show off. His guest chair is open now — colour projects book two to four weeks out.

How Nico works
- 01
Reference study. You send sharp photos; Nico designs the composition and tests the palette against your skin tone.
- 02
Layered packing. Colour is built in passes — foundation, saturation, detail — so it heals rich instead of muddy.
- 03
Healed review. Every colour piece gets a healed check at eight weeks with a free refinishing pass if needed.
