Ekaterina Nikitina

I am honoured to welcome you as my guest!
My name is Kate, and I am a self-taught and independent artist.
I started my engrossing journey as an artist in 2019, and since then my love for oil painting has been growing every day.
In a year I sent my work to the international contest of contemporary art in Saint-Petersburg for the first time and took a prize-winning place. As a prize I was accepted to the Eurasian Art Union.
This ignited a flame in me, and I was delighted that my work was highly assessed by the accomplished experts.
In my style I use a mixed technique: faces in portraits and flowers are depicted as more realistic as if before their immersion into the abstract world suffusing the painting.
While creating some works I also make a video performance.
I want to show elusiveness and evanescence and search for passion, eternity and diversified feelings in paints, and I am sure that this aspiration will be ever-lasting.
I create a non-existent reality with my brush and narrate imaginary stories with the paints.
I crave for noticing beauty in the ordinary and distinguishing something new in long-forgotten things. But my primary focus is on finding my personal identity.
