Paintings

The art of Stephen Najda explores the human condition in all its complexity from classical figures to abstraction by creating a dynamic juxtaposition of vivid colour, delineating line, and fluid brush stroke. This is a voyage of discovery of the primitive-self and the environment exploring the boundaries between imagination and the subconscious.

'A moment in time', a selection of paintings by Stephen Najda

The Scottish artist Stephen Najda crosses many boundaries. Stylistically placed between Matisse and Picasso, the oil paintings of Stephen Najda feature expressionistic figures representing the primitive self. A common thread runs through all his artwork - a bold vision of vivid colour, delineating line and fluid pint to produce a powerful narrative.
