Nikita Dulerain

Nikita Dulerain (b. 2003, Vilnius, Lithuania) is an emerging artist whose voice is impossible to ignore. Living with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autistic traits, he began painting in 2019 — and quickly turned art into his most powerful language. Each canvas is a burst of color and emotion, carrying the intensity of lived experience and the fragility of resilience.

Despite his young age, Nikita has already gained international recognition. His works have been exhibited in Moscow, Kaunas, Vilnius, London (Boomer Gallery), and Dubai (Emerging Scene Art Prize, DIFC), as well as in group and digital shows across the UK, Switzerland, USA and Luxembourg. He is a member of the Eurasian Art Union and the International Association of Visual Artists (IAVA). Awards include the American Art Awards (USA), Golden Time Talent (UK), and participation in the Luxembourg Art Prize.

After an initial wave of exhibitions and awards in 2020–2021, Nikita continued to paint prolifically. Due to personal circumstances, his public activity paused, but his artistic practice never stopped. In 2025, his work is once again being presented internationally, with new series gradually added to his portfolio.

For collectors, Nikita’s paintings offer more than aes...

Nikita has never studied art in a formal sense. Living with cerebral palsy and intellectual disability, he paints as he feels — without technique or academic training. What may look like abstraction is, in truth, his direct way of speaking to the world. Each stroke is unfiltered, intuitive, and profoundly authentic.
