Berdkan, Patrizia

Patrizia Berdkan, a self-taught artist from Montreal now based in Nova Scotia, draws inspiration from mid-century modern design, which influences the clean lines, geometric shapes, and vintage color palettes in her work. Using acrylics on birch board, she creates vibrant, bold pieces that reflect her unique style and passion for art.

Though she has no formal art training, Patrizia has refined her craft through dedication and exploration. Her work, often characterized by striking visuals and thoughtful compositions, continues to evolve as she pushes the limits of her creativity.

Artist Statement

I’m drawn to bright colors and the timeless feel of mid-century design. My love for vintage and retro aesthetics is a big part of what inspires me. Painting has always been in my life, and I’m committed to pushing my art forward with these influences.

For me, art isn’t just about what you see; it’s about stirring up a sense of nostalgia and familiar memories. I use color, form, and subject matter to capture the essence of past eras while giving it a modern twist. My goal is to transport people to a different time and place, making them see the beauty of the past in a whole new way.
