In Search Of The Higher Purpose

An exploration of contemporary art drawing inspiration from the Russian tradition. At its centre is Nika Kletski, an Orthodox street artist. Creating works at the intersection of iconography, personal experience, and urban space, Nika seeks a new way of engaging in dialogue with contemporary audiences. Her art emerges where the past meets the present: on walls, in abandoned buildings, and in the cracks of familiar urban reality. The present is impossible without a memory of the past, while the search for a new artistic language begins with an attempt to find a balance between heritage, personal experience, and contemporary forms.
