Niko Rea

Mexican surrealist artist.

"As a fortuitous act of fate, I became a surrealist."

My work moves between painting, printmaking, and video art, framed within a surrealist aesthetic with influences from Dadaism.

My visual language is built from deeply intuitive and ever-changing creative processes: each piece arises from an emotion, a walk, a meditation, or a psychological experience that I transform into an image.

I work primarily with oil and relief printing techniques. In my compositions, the use of vibrant, clean, and saturated colors acts as a counterpoint to the complex themes I explore.
