About

What started in August 2021 as a newfound creative outlet, turned into something much bigger than he ever could have expected. Going by the handle @nbultman_art on social media, Nick Bultman documents his journey with abstract art, making everything from trendy process videos to bold, futuristic showpieces.
Although, he was born and raised in California, Nick currently resides in Gilbert, Arizona. He does not have any formal art education and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Industrial Technology from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Nick has always had an interest in the relationship between science, technology, engineering and the creative arts but having worked in the corporate environment of engineering and sales for several years post-college, he found himself frustrated with his lack freedom to artistically express his deepest intuitions. After years of scrolling through social media, he decided to take these intuitions seriously, document his journey and take the leap from private inspirations to public demonstration.
Nick has since gained a significant following across social media and is fresh off of his first solo exhibition at the iconic Red Eight Gallery, located at the Royal Exchange in London.
Nick's focus is to create unique, dynamic, powerful works of art while sharing his journey to entertain and inspire others to manifest their creativity.
This website represents a collection of Nick's available and past artwork, client testimonials, and prints for sale.

Artist Statement

"I see my artwork as a personal exercise of exploring the freedom of movement, the beauty of physics, and unity between computer-generated precision with human-intuitive motions. I’m guided by a strong desire to push the boundaries of conventional painting techniques in a world where Ai is rapidly gaining ability to potentially trivialize the effort of handmade works. I’m trying to explore and revitalize the human spirit by capturing the essence of organic movement.
I want people to feel the energy behind my paintings and be inspired by each work’s energy and motion. I want people’s immediate senses to be captivated by the unique forms and imagination to run free with how those forms resonate with them.
I think the real magic in my artwork relies on capturing a single moment of focused effort. After several attempts on practice canvases, I build up my muscle memory to convey my motion to a prepared canvas. My brain shuts off and my body becomes one with my utensil. Since every muscle movement critically affects the overall composition, I will only attempt the movement when I’m prepared and in a flow state. I’m most proud of my work when I’m pursuing something new, when I’m pushing the boundaries of my technique. I call this Velocity Painting."
