Nikoleta Ivanova

My work is influenced by the many dark paths of the human mind, primal feelings, horror films/comics/manga, death, monsters, and the beauty of nature and the human body, merging the opposites. I primarily practice analogue illustration using my hands, paper, pencils, brushes, microns, and inks, avoiding the shortcuts and sometimes shortcomings of modern digital methods. I have worked with bands, brands, and small businesses, produced covers, shirts, and posters. Now looking to expand my skills and knowledge for my art to adorn not just walls but also bodies.

I practice and teach yoga at local studios and online. I believe that exploring the connection between mind and body allows us to move away from separation and towards oneness.
