The Observer
The artwork is a part of the multi-award winning 'Tale of the Blue Pear' series, which offers a unique experience to a viewer, a journey to the fantasy land, but with a strong connection to the present and natural world that surrounds us. It is a story about a journey which leads us through different unexpected places, unfulfilled dreams, life situations, people and their personalities and all the things that life brings. It guides us through the door to the world which we cannot see and makes us think twice about the way we comprehend the world.
About the artist: Working in the realm of contemporary surrealism, Nikolina expresses her eerie visions through metaphorical presentations of an imagined story, by guiding a viewer on a journey through imaginative fictional worlds.
From dreamlike landscapes and fantasy scenery, to animal characters, as well as strange creatures and environments, she uses the subtle allegory with observation of inner conflicts and questions that arise from them, as a dreamy and vivid example of her personal experience of the world.
Her surreal worlds were noticed by Salvatore Ferragamo, for whom she worked as a sole concept and visual development artist, creating visuals for the latest campaign Storie di Seta. Visual interpretations of animal fables with profound detailed compositions in her signature 'Tale of the Blue Pear' series have been recognized by private collectors worldwide and luxury venues such as Seabourn and Marriot autograph collection.
Nikolina's work has gained multiple international awards and has been shown in numerous international exhibitions as well as several art projects. Her work was exhibited globally, in galleries and museums of Europe, USA and Asia, most recently being exhibited at an individual exhibition in Paris. Her art is also represented in various books, magazines and publications, including the prestige "Lexikon phantastischer Künstlerinnen" by Gerhard Habarta.
