ARTIST
Nika Zusin
With the adoration of contrast and form, Nika Zusin creates abstract art using geometric shapes and Expressionism to represent human meanings. Geometry and Expressionism offer the ability to create with no boundaries just as abstract art is meant to be.
Nika’s love of simple shapes explains her biggest inspirations: Bauhaus and Constructivism. They both rely on simple shapes to address the complexities of life, inspiring self-reflection and realization through simplicity. The artist aspires to do the same. On the other hand, Expressionism is her way out when she is stuck in the geometric world.
Nika Zusin – a versatile artist – is also a singer and a songwriter (LONELY SINNERS), a poet, a choreographer and a former dancer (contemporary, jazz, and aerial dance on a trapeze), and a yoga teacher. She believes that only diverse fields of art give her the best opportunity to fully express herself and stay balanced.
