Get to know the Austin Artist:
My name is Iana Nikutina, an artist of Ukrainian origin. I have a bachelor's and master's degree in design and art. Central to my artistic practice is through realistic and semi-realistic depictions of landscapes, flora, and humans. I also devote time to painting using Ukrainian folk painting techniques, but with my own perspective on it. Utilizing a palette of bold colors and intricate patterns, I reinterpret personal narratives and cultural heritage. My portrayal of flowers ranges from meticulous realism to abstract representations.
Another focal point of my artistic exploration is the portrayal of female figures, delving into themes of strength, vulnerability, and inner resilience. Whether rendered in precise detail or suggested through abstract lines and shapes, each figure embodies the complexity and beauty of the feminine spirit. I explore the multifaceted nature of female power through bold colors and dynamic compositions.
