Nikolai Almeida is an abstract painter based in London. He works primarily in acrylics, with his artistic works characterized by two distinct styles: The first is is a blurring of reality into abstraction, initially inspired by interplay of light in a dense forest landscape, this branched out to a herringbone pixelation of scenes in ethereal colourscapes. In his second style, a systematic brushwork method is used to craft pleasing compositions, often without a particular subject matter or focus in mind. Nikolai is a practicing architect in the UK, balancing the grand scale of architecture with the intricate details of his art. His influences span a diverse spectrum of creators who share his appreciation for the process-driven nature of art. For Nikolai, art isn't an escape; it's a vibrant lifeline that enriches his architectural creativity. His paintings challenge perceptions, offering glimpses into the boundless possibilities of the abstract.
