“I work at the intersection of abstract and figurative art, which gives me freedom in both technique and subjects that I portray in my paintings. I have always been inspired by the plasticity of the human body , its strength, and fragility. This inspiration fuels many of my projects. I do not seek to reflect conventional standards of beauty or perfect proportions on canvas. My works are about real life, movement, and interactions with others. A central theme in my art is the attraction between individuals, the search for kindred spirits, and the creation of a unified whole.

My color palette consists of tranquil tones. I enjoy depicting the human body through geometry, revealing its facets like those of a precious gem. Landscapes and pure abstractions also form a distinct part of my creative expression.”

Bio

Nikiti is a young and promising artist from Ukraine whose distinctive artwork captures the attention of gallery owners and collectors alike. Born in Kharkiv, Nikiti moved to Kyiv for her education, where the artistic environment, urbanism, and fast-paced life influenced her artistic style. She graduated from the Mykhailo Boichuk Kyiv State Academy of Decorative Applied Arts and Design in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Alongside painting, Nikiti pursued photography professionally, with her photographic works also exploring motifs of the beauty of the human body, some of which can be described as bold.

In her paintings, Nikiti's style reflects influences from the Western school, while her portraits evoke innovative solutions reminiscent of her private studio work in Turkey. She continues to develop her series of paintings titled "Soul Reflection," where female and male figures emerge amidst lines and forms. Her minimalist, smooth forms are far from naturalistic depictions of nude models, hinting instead at sensuality and the exposure of the soul.
