Capturing Emotions in Oil

At NextGen Palette, we’re proud to highlight the talent and passion of emerging artists who bring unique perspectives to their work. This month, we’re thrilled to introduce Amanda Evans, an extraordinary oil painter whose artwork captures the raw emotions and vibrant energy of everyday life.

Meet Amanda Evans

Amanda Evans is a 23-year-old artist originally from Portland, Oregon. With a keen eye for detail and a love for storytelling, Amanda brings her subjects to life with every brushstroke. Her work is characterized by its rich textures and bold colors, capturing moments that are at once deeply personal and universally relatable. “I want people to feel something when they look at my work, to connect with the stories and emotions I’m trying to convey,” Amanda explains.

The Journey and Inspiration

Amanda’s journey as an artist began at a young age, but it wasn’t until college that she discovered her passion for oil painting. Inspired by the works of classic artists like Van Gogh and contemporary portraitists, Amanda developed a unique style that blends realism with expressive abstraction. Each piece she creates invites viewers to see beyond the surface, uncovering layers of emotion and experience.

“My goal is to paint scenes and faces that feel familiar, yet capture something raw and almost intangible,” she says. Her art often features subjects in quiet, reflective moments, with a focus on light, shadow, and the complex interplay of colors that bring them to life.

Recent Work

Amanda’s recent series, titled Moments In Between, explores the beauty found in small, overlooked moments—like a quiet morning with coffee or a sunset walk. Through each piece, Amanda hopes to remind viewers of the beauty in their everyday surroundings. “Art has the power to change how we see the world around us,” she reflects. “If I can inspire someone to appreciate these moments just a bit more, I’ve accomplished something.”
