BIO
Inna Nikolaieva is an interdisciplinary artist exploring memory, time, and processes of transformation. Originally from Ukraine, she lives and works in Vienna.
Her education combined architecture, painting, sculpture, and eurythmy — a path that began with academic training and led her to a tradition rooted in Goethe’s theory of color and Kandinsky’s theoretical work, as well as her first exhibitions with a group of artists working in the “Contemplativism” direction. Later, Inna completed a pedagogical education in the arts, developed new methods and approaches, and led seminars for teachers.
Her childhood was marked by the image of her grandmother as a Keeper of the family, spinning a thread connecting generations through the memory of lineage. This is why the image of time became central to her practice.
Forced emigration became an experience of reassembly for Inna, awakening her interest in processes of growth, decay, and regeneration.
From this experience grew her current work with various materials that carry within them the trace of time.
Her works have been exhibited in Austria, Switzerland, France, Greece, Canada, the USA, and Ukraine, and are held in private collections around the world.
