Graceful and richly layered, “Music from the Past” by Nicky Chubb is a celebration of form, memory, and emotion. Set against a radiant gold background, the reclining figure is brought to life through an intricate collage of patterned papers, textures, and fragments — including a delicate piece of vintage sheet music that evokes nostalgia and storytelling.

Nicky’s love of figurative art shines through in this piece, blending her signature vibrancy with a quiet, contemplative elegance. The tactile surface and gilded tones give the work a sense of warmth and timeless beauty, while the patchwork of colour and pattern symbolises the layers of experience that make up a life.

Both intimate and expressive, “Music from the Past” is a stunning work of contemporary figurative art — a testament to Nicky’s ability to capture the poetry of stillness and the beauty within reflection.
