Nikke Naeme - Can You Feel The Fire

This is a unique, hand-finished work, created through drawing and painting. The artwork is based on an ink print, mounted on wood, framed and ready to hang.

It is derived from an original 80 × 60 cm painting from the Barcelona series (2025), which is scheduled to be exhibited in a solo exhibition in Amsterdam at the end of 2026.



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.
