Biography:

Best known for his urban landscapes, Nick Savides learned to paint from his mother at three years old and hasn’t stopped since. Inspired by the works of Edward Hopper, the quiet energy within his art captures a palpable sensation of both light and place. The paintings’ range encompasses urban scenes and architecture, landscapes and nature, and the figure and portraiture.

After studying under Paul Georges at Brandeis University, Mr. Savides began a career as a realist painter. Starting out, he focused on paintings of people in interior settings, drawing on Johannes Vermeer as an influence. It was then that the effects of light became ─ and stayed ─ a key ingredient in his paintings.

Since his first solo show in 1980, he has exhibited in many group and solo shows in New York City, the tri-state area, Massachusetts, California, and Toronto. His work is included in numerous collections and was featured on June Middleton’s “Minding Your Business” in 2010. Twice published by Nabi Press, he has had retrospectives of his work at the Berkeley College Gallery and the Union Arts Center and has been published in John Natsoulas Press’ 2018 “10th Annual Art of Painting”, the August 2021 American Art Collector, and the March/April 2025 Fine Art Connoisseur. His work is also in the U.S. State Department’s “Art in Embassies” program. Mr. Savides was featured twice on Corrine Basabe’s “Corrine’s Picks” on local cable channels and YouTube in 2024. He volunteers as a museum tour guide and classroom educator with ArtWorks NYC.

Mr. Savides lives and works in Brooklyn
