I’m so happy you’re here.
In today’s fast-paced world, stress and disconnections have become the norm, leaving little room to tranquility and emotional balance. I create art to bring the calming essence of nature indoors through abstract compositions with often featuring birds. Representing freedom, mindfulness and resilience, my art serves as a visual escape that soothes the mind and uplift the spaces.
About the Artist
Nely Yahya is a New York-based artist and workplace interior designer whose work bridges the gap between nature, emotion, and abstract expression. With a background in interior design, she has spent years creating environments that are both functional and inspiring. Her passion for inclusive design extends into her artwork, where she seeks to craft pieces that resonate with diverse audiences and bring a sense of connection to any space.
Her artistic journey took flight in early 2024, when long hikes in nature became a source of solace and unexpected inspiration. Birds, symbols of freedom, mindfulness, and resilience, soon became the heart of her work. Captivated by their energy and presence, she began incorporating them into her abstract compositions, blending expressive brushstrokes with a sense of movement and calm.
Her work now embodies a balance of spontaneity and intention, offering a visual escape from the stress of modern life. Whether in private collections, corporate spaces, or hospitality settings, her art invites viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with nature, with themselves, and with the beauty of the present moment.

Art is for everyone
I believe we all deserve a moment of peace and connection. When I watch birds glide gracefully through the sky, I feel an immediate sense of calm—a feeling supported by studies showing that simply observing birds can lower stress levels and boost overall well-being. By capturing these moments in my paintings, I hope to offer a gentle reminder of life’s simple beauties, inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your own sense of wonder—no matter how hectic your day might be

Birds are amazing
I am inspired by the incredible diversity of birds, whose dazzling array of colors, shapes, sizes, and personalities mirrors that of us humans. The astonishing resilience reminds me that strength and adaptability are essential for thriving. My goal is to let this inspiration transform each brushstroke into a celebration of nature’s ever-evolving beauty, inspiring every viewer to see art as a dynamic narrative of survival and possibility.

Art and Feng Shui
Drawing on Feng Shui principles, I embrace birds as potent symbols of freedom, aspiration, and positive energy, believing that their vibrant presence not only attracts good fortune, harmony, and fresh opportunities. I strive to infuse interior spaces with this serene energy, evoking peace and tranquility that enhance overall well-being.
