Aina Nergaard-Nammack, Diptych #1526
Acrylic on canvas
Signed and numbered by artist
Two panels, each 36 x 12 inches

A rare diptych composition by Aina Nergaard-Nammack featuring two vertically oriented panels rendered in layered passages of blue, gray, ochre, black, and pale lavender. Sweeping gestural forms and loosely architectural shapes move fluidly across the surfaces, balancing spontaneity with the careful sense of equilibrium characteristic of Nergaard-Nammack’s work.

This diptych format is relatively uncommon within her body of work, making this a particularly unique piece within her oeuvre.

About the Artist:
Aina Nergaard-Nammack (1930–2026) was a Spanish-born abstract painter known for her vibrant, intuitive compositions and lifelong dedication to color, balance, and movement. Born into a family with a long artistic tradition among the women, she moved to the United States with her husband in the late 1950s and later lived and worked in Alexandria, Virginia before settling in Lewes, Delaware. A highly prolific artist throughout her long career, Aina created bold abstract works in which form and color remain carefully in equilibrium. Relying heavily on intuition, she sought to capture the emotional feeling of a scene rather than strict realism, repeatedly refining her compositions in an effort to “avoid chaos” and achieve the simple yet strong visual impact that defines her work.
