Hi, I’m Nicki Baker-Comelli, an Australian pop artist passionate about creating bright wall art full of energy. My art reflects the world as I see it, with bold colours, expressive marks, and compositions that tell a story. I am incredibly proud that my work has found its way into private collections and businesses across the globe.
“I am very grateful to collectors who resonate with my artistic vision and style.”
Fashion and Street Art Influences
I find endless inspiration in fashion and street art, two cultural forces that deeply influence my work. Something about the rebellious, raw energy of street art speaks to me. Graffiti-inspired spray paint, bold strokes, and textured layers are a huge part of what I do. But it is not just about the look—it is the attitude. My bright wall art is a statement, much like street art. With each mark demanding attention and telling its own story.
Fashion, too, plays a massive role in how I approach my work. For me, fashion is not just about clothes but about living boldly, unapologetically, and expressing yourself. Like fashion, my work is constantly evolving, full of life, and driven by creativity. I love mixing the fashion world’s luxury with street culture’s edginess, and that fusion is where my art finds its voice.
As Coco Chanel once said, “Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” That sentiment is precisely what I try to capture in my work—celebrating life, boldness, and the world around us.
Communicating with Colour
Colour is my language. I have always believed that a carefully chosen palette can stir emotions, which I strive to do in every piece I create. Whether it is the calming vibe of soft aquas or the electric energy of neon oranges, I want my bright wall art to connect with people on an emotional level.
In my paintings, I love to play with contrasts. Soft pastels against intense tones or lavender purples shimmering alongside rich Prussian blues. Olive greens, corals, sandy tones—it is all about creating a conversation between the colours that adds depth and interest. Whether you are drawn to pastels’ subtle sophistication or neon’s striking vibrancy, I hope my work offers an experience that feels personal and meaningful.
Expressive Mark-Making
At the core of my creative process is mark-making—something I consider myself a true devotee of. Every mark I make on the canvas is spontaneous and emotionally driven. Hard lines, soft strokes, zigzags, circles—it all depends on my mood and energy. My art is about the process just as much as the finished piece, and I want that energy to be felt by everyone who sees it.
I hope that when people look at my bright wall art, they feel that sense of movement and aliveness and connect with the emotion behind each stroke.
The ‘Just Do It’ Collection
One of my favourite series to work on has been the Just Do It collection. These pieces are filled with bold, pop art elements that showcase the sleek design of Air Jordans, enhanced with neon pops and vibrant colour contrasts. The collection is full of energy and movement. Blending the worlds of art, fashion, and street style in a way that is bold and FUN.
I love how this series captures the fast-paced, ever-changing nature of the sneaker and art worlds. Whether it is bright pinks, neon greens, or sharp blacks, each piece celebrates self-expression, just like the sneakers themselves.
‘The Pantry’ Collection
The Pantry collection is another direction that is close to my heart. It is all about celebrating iconic Australian foods through playful, vibrant oil paintings. From Arnott’s Biscuits to Sour Patches. My pieces bring a sense of nostalgia and cultural pride, turning everyday snacks into works of art. This series has been a fun way to capture the joy and simplicity of Australian life, using bright colours and intricate textures to bring these beloved foods to life.
The Pantry offers a blend of whimsy and fine art. I love how it connects with people who have grown up with these foods, making each piece a part of their personal story.
Bringing My Bright Wall Art Into Your Space
Owning one of my original pieces is more than just bringing home a painting. It is about inviting a burst of energy, colour, and personality into your life. Whether it is a pop art-inspired Nike painting from Just Do It or a nostalgic artwork from The Pantry, each piece I create is a part of my creative journey.
By adding one of my works to your collection, you are getting a unique piece of art and becoming a part of that journey. My art is here to inspire, uplift, and make a statement in your space – something bold, fun, and full of life.
To me, art is about celebrating the everyday and finding FUN in boldness. Whether it is street art, pop culture, or the emotional resonance of colour, I hope something in my original artworks speaks to you.
