Inspired by my childhood dreams and further encouraged with my lifelong love for nature and animals, I wanted to create worlds where animals exist as equal characters, as narrators of a modern fairy tale, who share with us the same environment, but also guide us through these remote, but at the same time beautiful landscapes.
With their presence they bring harmony and raise environmental awareness, they merge urbanization with serene nature, but also open a door to the universe which we cannot see in reality and make us think twice about the way we observe world around us.
Nikolina is a photographer and visual artist from Zagreb, Croatia.
With her works she searches to underline the psychological and social aspects of our identity and effects that endless soul searching has on our lives.
In her metaphorical presentations, from dreamlike landscapes and fantasy scenery to strange and dark characters, creatures and environments, she uses the observation of inner conflicts and questions that arise from them, as a dreamy and vivid example to show complex human emotions and drives as well as her subjective personal experience of the world.
