Richard Nattoo Jamaican Artist

Richard Nattoo, born in 1993 in Spanish Town, Jamaica, studied Architecture at the University of Technology, Jamaica. There, his interest in the world of the arts grew ferociously, propelling him into a career as a full-time artist. Over the years, he has participated in numerous premier exhibitions at the National Gallery of Jamaica, in addition to international solo and group shows, including The Passage Between Worlds with Eclectica Contemporary in Cape Town (2025) and Seein’ Sperrit with Tern Gallery in the Bahamas (2025). The genius of his mastery lies in the use of watercolours, pen and ink on canvas, utilising water from natural sources. Richard is also a recipient of the 2020  Prime Minister Youth Award in the category of Arts and Culture. In 2022, Richard’s work “Moonlight Meditations of Mama Nanny” was installed at the Institute of Jamaica (Kingston). In 2025, Richard’s work, “River Mumma II,” was acquired by the International African American Museum, and in 2026, his work, “The Majician’s Arrival,” was acquired by the Scotiabank Collection.
