Nicole Vishnevetska

BIOGRAPHY Born in 1994 in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine. After graduating from Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts (KSADA) lived and worked in Kharkiv for three years, engaging in artistic, exhibition, and teaching activities. In 2021 founded her own art studio in central Kharkiv, where she hosted creative workshops and art evenings. At the end of 2022, due to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, she was forced to relocate to Kyiv. Since the end of 2024, she has been living and working in Valencia, Spain. ARTIST STATEMENT Throughout my artistic practice, I have predominantly explored the themes of the human inner world. Initially, this involved deep self-reflection, tracking and analyzing my own states, feelings, thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and motives. Later, I extended this analysis to the people around me. My exploration was enriched by psychology and later by esoteric sciences, such as astrology. Currently, I delve into the theme of the inner world through spirituality. However, I am not just an observer—I live this reality. Practicing Tibetan Buddhism and adhering to the laws of karma, I perceive cause-and-effect relationships and analyze how our actions shape our reality. The goal of my works is to evoke a dialogue within the viewer, prompting them to ask profound questions that may lead to personal transformation. A proponent of classical media, I primarily work with oil painting. My works often incorporate symbolic meanings and echoes of surrealism. WORKS IN COLLECTIONS - Gallery collection of drawings of the First International Drawing Triennial, Center of Contemporary Art "White World". - Private collections in the Netherlands, Italy, United Arab Emirates, Spain and Ukraine.
