Nico Sterling
Precision, Minimalism, and the Art of Impact
Nico Sterling doesn’t paint—he engineers. His work is stripped to its core: black acrylic canvases engraved with stark white statements, designed with surgical precision. Every word, every letter is measured, refined, and laser-cut to perfection.
Born in Melbourne, Nico’s background in digital fabrication shapes his process. He works entirely on-screen, where meaning is reduced to grids, spacing, and negative space. His statements are bold yet ambiguous—some confront, others linger like unfinished thoughts.
Though his work is globally collected, Nico stays behind the scenes. His studio is silent, except for the hum of machinery and the sharp precision of a laser carving meaning into black voids. To him, art isn’t about self-expression—it’s about control.
