ABOUT NINA ORDUKHANOVA

​

Art has been my passion and a go-to activity for as long as I can remember. My mom, who is a very talented, self-taught artist herself, was the one to introduce me to the wonders of artistic expression. I still have a few drawing pads from my early childhood with sketches of different animals I encountered on our nature walks and mushroom hunting adventures.

 

Today, my passion for art is at its peak, and I finally feel confident exposing it to the world. My artistic inspiration comes from Salvador Dali, Alex Grey, James Jean, Boris Vallejo, and many others. Although my art style has slightly changed over the years, I never stopped favoring surrealism, psychedelic art, illustration, fantasy and erotica, spiritualism, abstract art(landscapes and plants are my favorites in this style), expressionism, neo-classicism, and cubism.

 

My adventurous character and curious nature have kept me open to working with any media I have access to. Today, I have extensive experience working with ink, pastels, watercolors, oils, acrylics, colored pencils, markers, pyrography on wood, metallic paints, and pencils. As soon as I felt too comfortable with hand-drawn art, I started self-teaching AI and AP.

 

I use art as a way of self-expression, storytelling, and internalization. My art sessions have allowed me to reflect on my deepest thoughts, and become whole. To me, nothing is more satisfying than telling a story with shapes, images, and colors.
