Nicky Pizzi is an Italian American painter and multimedia artist who was born in Red Bank, New Jersey on July 29, 1992.  He is from Sayreville, New Jersey which is where he lived during childhood and as a young adult.  Nicky graduated from Sayreville War Memorial High School in 2010 and is an alumnus of Kean University in Union, New Jersey.  He graduated in 2014 and received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts with concentrations in painting and drawing.  As of July of 2019, Nicky currently resides in Bordentown, New Jersey where he is living in his first apartment.

Nicky is a young artist with a mind full of fresh, innovative ideas.  He specializes in oil and acrylic paint, but is open-minded about exploring different styles and media (materials).  He has stated that his paintings have an impressionistic feel to them, but he does not identify with any style and believes that he simply "paints the way he paints".  Nicky cites his own core beliefs and life experiences such as places he has visited, struggles and adversity he has faced, good times had, and happiness and success achieved as his major influences.  He tends to communicate messages of hope in his artwork based on his philosophy of "always looking at the brighter side of things in life". 

Nicky is an avid fan of the third wave ska music scene due to its uplifting and energetic tone, which co-exists as a vital quality that lives on in his personality.  He began listening to this specific genre of music during the summer of his junior year of high school in 2009.  During the summer of his sophomore year at Kean in 2012, Nicky also started off his eternal skanking adventure when he began attending music shows played by his favorite third wave ska bands and other third wave ska bands at various venues.  It is well known that he thoroughly enjoys skanking to this wave of ska, especially in circle pits.  According to Nicky, this type of dance or movement is "completely bodacious".  He also listens to metalcore while in his studio, which unlocks a channeled anger inside that motivates him along his creative journeys. 

In January of 2018 Nicky started making "self-investments", a term he uses to describe purchases he made of his favorite Italian luxury clothing brands.  These self-investments serve as further motivation and the standard he holds for himself to achieve the highest level of professionalism and success in his artist career.  His love for his Italian roots is also a strong contributing factor in this decision.    

Nicky greatly enjoys playing golf and started regularly playing in June of 2022.  As of October of 2024 he has played golf courses throughout 7 New Jersey counties (Monmouth, Ocean, Mercer, Burlington, Middlesex, Hunterdon & Somerset) and has played in South Carolina as well.  Nicky is also a cigar enthusiast.  He unofficially began smoking cigars in August of 2023 after having smoked his first one.  After doing research online in November of 2023 about a few cigar shops and lounges along with doing additional online research on do's and don'ts of cigars, Nicky officially started smoking cigars in April of 2024.
