Description of the Original Artwork STOLEN MOMENTS

The square artwork STOLEN MOMENTS captures the elegance of a middle-aged lady standing waist-deep in a pool. The composition is viewed from behind, allowing a glimpse of her poised and graceful posture. The lady is dressed in a black bikini adorned with golden clasps and embellishments, which add a touch of luxury to her appearance.

The water in the pool is depicted with remarkable clarity, so clear that one can see her body in the bikini and even the tiles at the bottom of the pool. This attention to detail creates a realistic and immersive scene.

On her head, the lady wears a twisted turban with a pattern of red, pink, and white. Her brown hair peeks out from beneath the turban, and a large white pearl earring adorns her right ear, adding to her sophisticated look.

Her face is shown in semi-profile, giving viewers a sense of her features without fully revealing her expression. She wears sleek black sunglasses, which suggest an air of mystery and elegance. Her gaze is directed towards something outside the frame, inviting viewers to wonder what has captured her attention.

The creation of STOLEN MOMENTS took place in Nina Nolte’s studio in Dusseldorf in November 2011. Nolte’s skill in capturing the essence of elegance and serenity is evident in this piece. Her meticulous attention to detail and ability to convey mood and atmosphere make this artwork a standout example of her work.

Background to the Nina Nolte series THE BEST IS YET TO COME

The idea for this series, which comprises twenty different artworks of various sizes, came to Nina Nolte when she regularly met with her friends in one of their pools in Marbella to refresh herself after work in her studio. The artist recalls the confidential conversations among the women with this series. The captured moment represents a pause in conversation, during which the woman/women reflect on what has been said. By using a bird’s-eye view, she intentionally places the viewer in the role of a voyeur.
