Houses of Art Marbella is pleased to announce the results of the first Young Artist Contest, held during the first International Art Festival (FIAM) in Marbella this year. Chosen by more than 200 public voters and a professional panel of judges, three outstanding new artists have been commended for the quality and originality of their works.

Congratulations to the winner:

Nicholas de Lacy Brown!

While he may be a lawyer by profession, his natural talent has an artist has quickly brought him acclaim in the art world. Famous for his use of bold colours, surrealist touches and attention to detail, his works embody present life experiences through portraiture and landscape. His paintings chronicle the harrowing memory of a life-changing accident, heartbreak, and also times of social elation.

Judges notes: We have come to the conclusion that this young artist is a great talent whose career we will be watching closely with high expectations.

Nicholas de Lacy Brown has been offered the opportunity to exhibit his works in Houses of Art Marbella. More details coming soon.

1st Runner-up: Astrid Witt

Originally from Aalborg in the north of Denmark, Astrid Witt currently lives and works in Estepona. Her artistic career first began three years ago when Spanish painter Fe Rodriguez introduced her to the techniques of acrylic paint on canvas. Gradually, Witt developed her own unique style using this media.

2nd Runner-up: Elin Schnipper

At only 19 years old, Swedish artist Elin Schnipper is an astonishing young talent currently working in Estepona. She describes her budding career and influences in her own words, “Until the beginning of last year, I had never really studied the history of art. The only movement I was familiar with was Surrealism, as it allowed me to release and portray feelings that I could not verbally explain. However, during this year I have tried to adopt as many different styles as possible in order to create my own.”

Congratulations to all who participated
