Nastassja Nikitina (1988)
I was born and studied in Russia. Now I live and work in Tbilisi, Georgia.
The main theme of my artwork is a human in all their conditions and manifestations. Sometimes one definite shape isn’t sufficient for me and I create an impression of movement as if a trace of recent presence. I’m into depicting a human action, whether it is the act of sexuality, contemplating, talking, smoking, doing sport, etc. I’m mostly fond of oil painting and digital art.
I’m a full-time artist.
After studying in St.-Petersburg, I returned to my native town in the south of the country, because I can’t stand cold climate. Straight after my study, I rented a studio and got down to creating process, which turned out to be a release of those canons imposed by conservative art education. I made abstract non-figurative paintings. Unfortunately, that new state of mind led to depression. Now I realize why it happened to me. I was about 20 years old and my personality wasn’t ready enough for that kind of artwork. Luckily, there was a positive twist of fate and I got some students to teach. I didn’t specifically look for them, but they magically appeared from nowhere. Mostly they were older than me and they found a certain revival ...
