Composition 1740-Friction between light and sound Painting

Niko is originally from Southern California but grew up in Las Vegas. Both the desert and the beach are places have strongly influenced her work in light and colour. She started in the darkroom with analog photography but grew as an artist and developed her skills in painting and sound art as well. Her work incorporates elements of surrealism and abstractionism, and she works with painting to photography, sometimes combining both to create unique multimedia pieces and series. The work itself touches upon dreams, memories and spirituality in the face of the chaotic world we live in. She wants people to connect with the work on a visceral level as she explores the aesthetic and philosophical worlds of spirituality, the soul, multi-world theory, and parallel universes in her art. She currently resides in Berlin, and has had her works featured in exhibitions across Europe, notably in Paris, London, Nottingham, Rome and Berlin. Instgram@nikomitsuko
