Candice Perese

Hyperrealism embraces nostalgia within the works of Candice Perese, a full-time artist originally from New Zealand and currently residing on the Surf Coast of Victoria. Her artistic practice predominantly encompasses heavy-weight fine art paper, wax pencil, and pigment to produce large-scale compositions which investigate colour relationships, and the artist’s inherent desire for balance in composition - specifically in symmetry, or visual depth and weight.

Recently, Candice’s practice has evolved into an exploration of photorealism and Hyperrealism, led by her skilled command of wax pencil - her preferred medium. Sourcing vintage and antique objects from Australia and abroad, she curates and composes evocative, nostalgic ‘scenes’, documenting moments encapsulated in time.

Each artwork can take up to 100 hours to create.
