Nicki Comelli-Baker IXL Strawberry: Have you ever wondered what it takes to give your best in every aspect? It begins with the three-letter magic formula – ‘IXL’. This isn’t just any random abbreviation. It is Australian artist Nicki Comelli’s adored motto, famously coined by the iconic man who made IXL jam in Australia – Howard Jones.
Nicki’s take on the IXL motto
IXL stands for ‘I excel’. This simple yet powerful motto reminds us to strive for excellence in our work and relationships with family, lifestyle, and how we perceive ourselves. Remember, you can only pour out what you have within.
Self-love isn’t about being self-centred or arrogant. It is about acknowledging your worth, nurturing your soul, and embracing your flaws. It is about taking a step back from the rush of life to take care of yourself. Because when you love yourself, you create a positive and healthy environment within you that reflects in everything you do.
When you IXL, you don’t just meet expectations. You exceed them. You set the bar high, and then you raise it. It is about pushing your boundaries, venturing into the unknown, and emerging victorious. It is about becoming the best version of yourself.
And when you excel in self-love, you tend to excel in expressing love towards your family and friends. You start to excel in your work, in your hobbies, and in your lifestyle. It is a ripple effect that spreads positivity and growth all around you.
So, let’s ignite that spark within you. Let’s make IXL our motto, mantra, and guiding principle. Are you ready for IXL?
Nicki Comelli’s IXL paintings transforming art
A fantastic blend of the conventional and unconventional Australian artist Nicki Comelli transforms pop art as we know it, infusing her passion into every stroke and spray. Her renowned IXL paintings are not just works of art; they are a fusion of creativity and a testament to the power of artistic freedom.
Think of a daring fusion of pop, street, and traditional oil paint. That’s what Nicki dives into with each of her original artworks. Her signature painting style is just as unique as she is. Thick palette knife textures paired with loose, organic spray paint are breathtakingly mixed with discipline, wildness, structure, and freedom.
But that’s not all. What truly sets Nicki’s art apart is the enthusiasm with which each piece is painted. Every stroke, every spray, every blend, and every mix is done with an intensity and passion that is tangible – each movement fluid and purposeful.
The founding inspiration behind Australian artist Nicki Comelli-Baker’s pop/street art IXL paintings
The answer lies in the legacy of Howard Jones, the founder of IXL, an iconic Australian brand that revolutionised the jam industry in the late 19th century. He had a motto that personified his perseverance and attitude to life: “I excel in everything I do”.
Born in 1891, Jones took a small jam factory in Hobart and turned it into a global enterprise. A testament to his ambition, his motto ‘I excel in everything I do’ echoed in every business decision he took.
Jones wanted to create a brand reflecting his philosophy, ambition, and pride in being an Australian manufacturer. Thus, he chose IXL, which stands for “I excel”. This wasn’t just another brand name but a declaration of his confidence in his products and his vision to compete with foreign rivals globally. Cited: Living Art Lifestyle.
