Nick Bautista's Mantras and Methods

Artist Nick Bautista writes, "I have often been reluctant to talk about my work. I have even been hesitant showing or exhibiting it - I suppose that can be problematic for a painter. The images I choose to paint, rather the ideas of the images, I treat very personally, almost protectively. I see them as fragments of private journal entries. After all, they address my personal situations and struggles, or whatever I might be experiencing in my life."

Despite his reluctance to talk about his work, Nick sat down with INTERLOCUTOR Magazine founder Tyler Nesler for a wide-ranging discussion about his projects and creative drives, the personal struggles and deep self-reflections which have inspired his creations, along with recountings of his harrowing experiences with ultra running, which have included being stalked by a pack of coyotes through the mountains while pushing his body and mind to dangerous extremes.
