Daria Nikitiuk — Abstract Symbolist & Organic Expressionist.
Her signature technique combines flowing color fields with a delicate lace-like linework that forms an energetic map — a visual layer between microcosm and macrocosm. Through this symbolic structure she explores inner states, memory, transformation, and the regenerative intelligence of nature.
Rooted in personal mythologies and intuitive processes, Daria’s art reflects an ongoing dialogue between identity, silence, and natural cycles. Her visual language speaks of quiet resistance and the search for wholeness in an increasingly accelerated and fractured world.
