About
NIKYOTO is the artistic pseudonym of Nikol Andonova. It stands for Nicole in Kyoto and was born after a visit to the famous Japanese city, which turned out to be an emotional and creative turning point for the artist. Nicole or NIKYOTO doesn't remember ever not being involved in art in one form or another. However, her professional path began in 2015, when she created her first digital surrealist portrait paintings, connecting reality with imaginary, dream worlds. To stand out in the space of contemporary art, you have to have your signature - NIKYOTO's signature is her highly original resin work. Her imagination and hands give birth to the so-called flowing paintings – works in which the movement seems to have not stopped and at every moment turns the frame into a starting point for a new change. Outside the box are also the jewelry and fashion that NIKYOTO creates. They also bear her unconventional view of matter as an expression of the desire for eternal and unceasing movement. A beautiful escape from labels, frames, and limitations.
