AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

“IT’S A FIRE” is a classic hand-painted artwork I return to from time to time, made on a print. It contains acrylic paint, ink, and pencil. It’s hand signed, and fixated on a wooden panel that is framed. Every piece of this series is UNIQUE.

The bio

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. Recurring themes in his practice include human flaws, imperfection, and doubt. Constantly exploring contrasts, both as a person and as an artist, his 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, NIKKE has recently shifted his focus toward a slower, more deliberate creation process—producing fewer works, yet with greater depth and refinement. With a steadily expanding audience and a viral presence on Instagram, the reach and value of his art continue to rise. To date, more than a thousand of his works have found their way to collectors 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?
