He grew up with a love and passion for art, but decided to pursue other interests after leaving high school. At the age of 25, Sider decided to quit his job, teach himself to paint, and begin to pursue his childhood dream of becoming an artist. In 2014 he relocated to New York City and had his first NYC solo show in 2016. Thanks to several viral videos on social media, Nick Sider has gained international recognition for his hyper realistic paintings and been fortunate to sell his artwork to collectors worldwide. While experimenting with a multitude of subject matter, Sider has always maintained a hyper realistic style, attempting to create paintings that extend beyond what a photograph could ever capture, saying; "My favourite moment while painting is when a subject on my canvas begins to come alive." His main goal for his paintings are to use detail and colour to create the illusion of life spawning from the canvas. More recently, Nick Sider has been working on a series of large-scale tiger paintings as an ode to his childhood obsession with tigers. He will be having his first solo show in 2 years on Friday, November 30th in New York City.
