AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Mixed media (acrylics, pen, pencil, watercolor, oilpastel) on paper
Artist profile
NIKKE NAEME (1984) is a multidisciplinary artist from the Netherlands whose work delves deeply into the human psyche and behavior—particularly its darker, more fragile sides. While formally restrained, the work carries a quiet emotional charge, engaging themes of human imperfection, doubt, vulnerability, and the fragile balance between control and exposure. Through an ongoing exploration of contrast, the work reveals a complex, dual character that questions perception itself.
NIKKE's paintings are held in private collections around the world and are regularly exhibited in Amsterdam. His 2023 solo exhibition marked a defining moment in his career, strengthening his position within the contemporary art scene. After an intense period of high productivity and rapid growth, he has recently shifted his focus toward a slower, more deliberate creative process—producing fewer works, yet with greater depth and refinement. With a steadily expanding audience and a growing presence on Instagram, the reach and value of his work continue to rise. To date, more than a thousand of his works have entered private collections worldwide.

Seller's Story
I make neo-expressionist art, often with a dark theme. Many of my paintings are portraits that portray loneliness, sadness and imperfection. I often use a stamping technique so that my paintings can be seen in mirror image. Who is one really; what others see or what we see ourselves in the mirror?
