Spring’s Embrace: Exclusive Sakura Collection
The Spring Equinox is hereTime to Rise, Transform, and Embrace New Beginnings.Just...
I'm redefining the future of anime-inspired fine art, blending surrealism with anime storytelling to create an emotionally charged, visually captivating experience that pushes the boundaries of art and pop culture.

Where art transcends boundaries and storytelling meets innovation. I reimagine the world through surrealism and gestural painting, embracing autism as my superpower. Inspired by cinematic aesthetics and anime, my work blends animation’s dynamic storytelling with surrealism’s emotive power. From uplifting vlogs to exhibitions, I create spaces where everyone feels seen and valued.

About Me
I am Nathan Downie (Nashīnasu ナシーナス in my art career since 2020), a multidisciplinary multi award-winning artist with autism based in England using my paints and graphite to create intriguing reimagining’s of our world. An artistic style that integrates the historical greats of animation, surrealism, and gestural painting my works of art border between the real and the abstract.
My journey to becoming an artist began as a child. At a young age, I discovered a love of animation, especially the greats like Studio Ghibli and Anime. I began drawing and creating my own worlds of escape. The act of creation became a cathartic space that continues to elevate my mood to this day. My talents began to be recognized by my secondary school teachers at Wallington Boys School who encouraged me to develop my own distinctive artistic practice. I dove deeper into understanding art, developing a fascination with individuals such as Stephen Wiltshire and Salvador Dali.
As my practice grew, I took elements from these foundational influences and combined them with my love of music, anime, and Japanese culture. I went on to receive a Level 2 Diploma in Art & Design from Nescot College and graduate from The Art Academy, London Bridge with a Fine Art diploma and completed their Postgraduate Programme. Today, my work coalesces my past experiences, my love for music and film, and the historical artists and designers who came before as I create cinematic works that challenge us to change our perspectives.
While I continue to grow my practice, my work has already been recognized internationally from the United Kingdom to the United States as well as Japan and South Korea. I have been included in numerous group and solo exhibitions with more on the horizon. I won numerous accolades including the Collector's Art Prize (2023), Persona Art Honours (2024), 2025 Visionaries: Artists Shaping The Future: Creative Catalysts For Change (2024) and named one of the Top 100 Influential People 2025 Honourees (2024), and have had my art added to local private collections.
