About the creator
- Lola Nikishina is an emerging contemporary artist whose work celebrates color, light, and texture as vessels for emotion and human connection. Her paintings draw deep inspiration from the natural world, transitional light, and the quiet poetry found in everyday beauty. With a sensitivity to the unseen and often overlooked, her work reflects a quiet resilience and a deep reverence for subtlety. Guided by intuition and a love for materials, Lola explores how layered textures and luminous hues can evoke memory, presence, and a sense of stillness. Each piece invites the viewer into a contemplative space—an intimate dialogue between the visible and the felt.

Artistic Style
Lola Nikishina’s artistic style is rooted in a deep appreciation for color, light, and texture as expressive vessels for emotion and human connection. Her work often draws inspiration from the subtleties of nature, the fleeting transitions of light, and the quiet poetry found in everyday beauty. Through layered brushwork and dynamic palettes, Lola explores themes of resilience, introspection, and the silent strength that underlies ordinary moments. Her pieces invite viewers into a sensory dialogue. Evoking feeling before thought, and presence before interpretation.
Inspiration and Process
Lola's creative process is both intuitive and reflective, often beginning with an emotional spark triggered by natural phenomena, such as shifting skies or the play of sunlight through leaves. She integrates moments of stillness and observation into her practice, allowing the essence of a scene or feeling to guide the evolution of a piece. Her studio practice involves a balance of experimentation and intention, using mixed media and texture to amplify emotional resonance. This contemplative yet expressive approach results in paintings that feel both personal and universal. Quiet yet powerfully present.
