Overview

Nikoleta Sekulovic is a rising star of contemporary figurative painting. Her richly worked, and richly imagined, ‘portraits' recover lost pasts and suggest possible futures. Each painting is an act of homage to a great female figure: a poet, philosopher, activist, or literary heroine: from the Victorian mathematician, Countess Ada Lovelace, to the New Zealand suffragette, Kate Sheppard, via Virginia Woolf and Emily Dickinson.

 

Sekulovic’s art engages with the notion of identity in a profound and symbolic way. The artist’s distinctive style is imbued with a sense of contemporary craftsmanship that recalls Pre Raphaelite design philosophy. The iconic legacy of Victorian artist, poet and social activist, William Morris, and his female contemporaries, is a pertinent fount of inspiration. Through her expressive transcription of Morris’s original floral designs, and her inscription of opposite written texts on to the back of her canvases, Sekulovic celebrates – and connects with – the moral and intellectual ideals of her subjects, whilst binding them to her own unique vision.

 

Sekulovic's work is held in numerous prestigious private collections across the globe, including in Palm Beach, Florida, Seattle, Washington, London, UK and Delhi, India.
