Marlon Nikolai

I am an artist driven by the desire to translate inner landscapes into visual form. My work moves between painting and sculpture, often exploring the tension between clarity and obscurity, control and surrender. I seek to create spaces where the viewer can connect with something beyond the visible—where emotion, memory, and silence speak. Each piece is an invitation to slow down, to feel, and to reflect on what lies beneath the surface of things.
