Nuorala paints from life by observing and utilizing markings and decay that appear throughout our cities and towns: materials and surfaces that are constantly eroding and worn in the urban environment. “I find inspiration in graffiti, surface markings, bits and pieces of texture and color, posters that often appear on light-poles, or facades of old and new buildings. back alleys, dumpsters, doorways, old worn loading docks, along with pavement and roadways all provide the material that becomes the “building blocks” for expressing shape, pattern, texture, and color of the urban environment all accomplished with geometric constructions”. Nuorala’s work does not bear any similarity to what he uses as inspiration rather each work becomes an abstraction through his unique style of arranging and positioning geometric planes. In Nuorala's pieces, hard edges play against brushed and scraped surfaces, with the movement of painting juxtaposing against controlled lines and hard edges, coalescing into a celebration of aesthetics, composition, and colors, hard edges play against brushed and scraped surfaces, with the movement of painting juxtaposing against controlled lines and hard edges,  coalescing into a celebration of aesthetics, composition, and color.
