Nikita Andrejev

His work explores the questions, "What is organic?" and "What is natural?", which are two genuine directions within the natural world. By “organic,” he reflects back to form — language that ties down the puzzle of living entities. A pattern, used by Mother Nature, hides within the beasts and their environment (both living and non-living).

Tree bark, sea coral, stone, muscle, bone, and fungi. Different in root, but with a shared Rhythm. A common pattern - the Universal Natural Rhythm. A combination of repetition, lines, angles, and regular irregularity. It cannot be described in words, as it requires a visual dimension. He takes it, observes it, learns from it, and distills it to its pure essence. To make a form that is as much of a tree, as a stone, as a bone, as an organ.

“What is natural?” is the question that encapsulates human instincts, beliefs, and experiences – all parts of the human-animal psyche. Being engraved into his practice, they turn his paintings into poems, metaphors for human life.

Through the use of found organic forms and the study of the human psyche, he creates spiritual landscapes that reflect the world that we have come from – through the lens of pattern, observation, and beauty.
