"If you’re looking for Art that is contemporary yet timeless, expressive yet refined, personal yet universal, the In Nobis collection is truly extraordinary.        It doesn’t just embellish a home - it transforms it."
Rachel B.

        When  I  first  encountered the 
In Nobis collection by Nico Novac, I was struck by how deeply human these abstract figurative works felt. They weren’t just paintings, they were presences — quiet, powerful, and strangely intimate. I had been searching for artwork that could elevate my home without overwhelming it, something that would bring emotional depth into the space while still feeling modern and refined. What I didn’t expect was how profoundly these pieces would reshape the atmosphere of my home.

Bringing a piece from the Ephemeral Idyle collection into my home has been nothing short of transformative. I had admired Nico Novac’s work from afar for some time, drawn to the way his paintings seem to hover between presence and disappearance - that delicate tension he describes as a “quest for the undefined,” a search for the essence that always eludes us. But living with one of these works is an entirely different experience.
What impressed me most is how the artwork changes with the light. Morning brings out its softness, the translucent layers glowing like mist. By evening, the deeper tones take over, revealing a quiet gravity. It’s as if the painting has its own circadian rhythm - a living presence that responds to the atmosphere of the home.

Buying Affectio and Nostalgia from the In Nobis collection has been one of the most meaningful decisions I’ve made for my interior space. I had followed Nico Novac’s work for years, always drawn to the way his abstract figurative portraits seem to emerge from a place deeper than representation — a place of memory, intuition, and emotional truth. But living with these two paintings has shown me just how profoundly art can shape the atmosphere of a home.

Together, they create a quiet dialogue about connection, memory, and the inner landscapes we all navigate. They make the home feel more human, more grounded, more alive.

From the moment I unwrapped it, I felt that unmistakable revelation - the sense of a figure emerging from within, not fully defined yet undeniably human. Reverentia holds that tension beautifully. The portrait feels suspended between vulnerability and strength, between exposure and retreat. It’s as if the painting is breathing, revealing itself slowly, respectfully, on its own terms.

 The gestures are restrained yet expressive, the palette muted yet full of depth. There is a softness in the transitions - a kind of inner light that seems to rise from beneath the surface. The figure is not depicted, it is felt. And that sensation lingers long after you step away.

What I love most is how Haiku to the Sun creates a sense of inner stillness. It invites you to pause, to breathe, to feel. There is a meditative quality to it - a reminder of the beauty in simplicity, in fleeting moments, in the spaces between thoughts. It embodies the essence of the he interior world made visible through abstraction.

Living with this artwork has made my home feel more grounded, more luminous, more human. It is a piece that doesn’t demand attention, yet it holds it effortlessly. A quiet poem on the wall - one that continues to unfold, line by line, each time I pass by.

I am very grateful to have it in my space.

    What drew me to the Soul Gesture collection in the first place was its ability to translate emotion into movement - to make the invisible visible through gesture, texture, and the subtle interplay of color. Here Comes the Sun embodies that philosophy beautifully. The painting feels like an exhale after a long held breath, a moment of clarity breaking through the weight of the everyday.
Here Comes the Sun has become more than a painting in my home. It’s a reminder of resilience, of renewal, of the quiet beauty in beginning again. It brings a sense of calm optimism into the space - a soft, steady brightness that I feel every time I walk past it.

           I’m grateful to live with it.
