Nika Winner

Born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1977, I began my art training at an early age. I furthered my professional education at the prestigious Kyiv State Institute of Applied Arts and Design. Today I am also a member of Ukraine’s National Union of Artists.

As an artist I set high goals for myself - I always aim to achieve the best result I can in everything that I start. I also try to find something wonderful and miraculous in things that I see and transcribe my experiences and emotions to canvas. After years of classical training and experimenting with various techniques I developed my own painting method that I call "volumetric painting". In it I’m combining my free creative (and often sensual) expression with composition and certain structure of the painting.

I have participated in groups shows all over Europe and in the United States, and I also had solo shows in the U.S., Russia and Ukraine.

My work is in private and museum collections all over the world: USA, Germany, Switzerland, Kuwait, Russia, Ukraine and other countries.
