Sculptures, installation and prints.

The primary subject of interest in the works of Nina Nineska are ambivalent structures, represented by sculptures and digital graphic works, that develop on the concept of intervention – both on a material and on a spiritual level.
The focus of her research is the perceptive experience arising out of the illusion of the movement created in the relations between sculptural forms, or between colors in graphical prints. The author concentrates on the optical method of interaction between pictorial planes and the created illusion, i.e. between realization on one hand, and observation on the other. Reflective surfaces on sculptures have been formed with the intent to create light templates, which change as points of view and reflection change. The desired effect is an impression arising from movement, concealed images, reflection and vibration, but also from diversion of focus from the created object towards the subject, and their mutual relation.
The relationship between two complementary forms and colors provokes the feeling of depth in the illusory three-dimensional space, or creates an illusion of an architectural shape that invades the observer’s space. The sculptures operate in a system of kaleidoscopic multiplied reflection and fractal structure in which each separate part is being infinitely multiplied.
The final result is a psychedelic, ecstatic visual unity that develops a mandala structure, introducing us into a shape with an initial centre at the vortex of the psychological horizon. Taking in consideration the concentration and contemplation towards which it strives, and the identification with the Mandala symbolism as the form archetype, each new work of art aims at inner conciliation and full achievement of unit, in harmony with the Being’s spiritual core.
