About

Hello, my name is Nina and I am a multidisciplinary artist. I was born in Jurmala, Latvia 24 July 1993 and currently living in Stockholm, Sweden. In my art, I explore such notions as contemporary decadence, exoticism and globalization visualizing them through symbolic objects and paintings. I research contemporary problematics by creating art works using traditional art and craft techniques.
