Malcolm Nicoll
George Bernard Shaw famously said, "without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable." There's more to life than what we can sense on the physical plane. It's my sincere wish to help you and I fulfill the need to reach other horizons; to experience and to feel that other realm of the spiritual via the creative process. Just like there is ultimately one God, I believe that there is ultimately one art. My inspiration in creating art is not only to document my evolution as an artist but more importantly to attempt to make all aspects of life a work of art; to feel and activate our divine gift for creating and expanding beauty in an often times harsh and crude world. Not strictly in the virtual arts, but in all concepts and ideas.




"An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportion."
-Charles Baudelaire
​(1821-67)
