BIOGRAPHY
I was born in 1979 in the USSR, in the city of Shevchenko, now Aktau (Kazakhstan). In 1992 she moved with her parents to Russia (Vladimir region). In 1995 the family moved to the city of Zhitomir (Ukraine), where she received secondary education, 11 grades. In August 1999 Nike with her little sister and parents settled in Germany. She got education as an accountant, tax bureau worker.
Since childhood the girl had her own non-standard perception of the world and separate things. She differed from her peers passion for esotericism, symbols and unexplained paranormal phenomena. Saw bright images and pictures, which from childhood wanted to embody on paper and canvases. Possessed a vivid imagination. She wrote poetry. From 1986 to 1991 Nike was engaged in the folklore ensemble “Zabava”, where she was a leading soloist. Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union the ensemble ceased to exist. It is the songs and words will be in the future her main inspiration for painting. She always dreamed of being an artist, but by coincidence she never received an art education.
In October 2010, there was an irresistible desire to paint pictures. Her works are inspired by fairy tales, fantasies, words, love for animals. The paintings are painted on canvases with bright acrylic and sometimes oil colours. All paintings are individual and are not repeated or copied.
Purpose in life: to spread goodness and joy to people. The biggest reward for her labours is if a visitor smiles while looking at the paintings and at least for a moment returns to a happy childhood, becomes a free child. Positive energy coming from the paintings can change life for the better.
The pictures are painted with great love and soul. Love opens in us the unknown. It makes us cleaner, kinder, more naive. All her feelings are reflected in the works, transferred from the soul to the brush. Characters come to life and give their warmth.

STATEMENT
Nike Kama is not an academic artist, but an individual who expresses herself in the language of images. She wants to convey her own emotions and evoke positive emotions in the viewers.
Since her childhood, she has been interested in esotericism, symbols and the supernatural. She believes that some symbols transmit an energy that can have a positive influence on a person’s future. These can bring success in business, love and health.
In 1990 and 1993 she attended esoteric seminars in Kiev and Moscow, where she successfully learned the meanings of various symbols and approaches.
The following life led her to a different professional path, which unfortunately had nothing to do with art. However, she is pursuing the dream of being artistically active.
The urge to paint sparked in October 2010, during which she created many art works.
Her works are inspired by fairy tales, fantasy creatures and animals. In addition, they stand out because of the bright colours.
The artist had exhibitions in Berlin, Germany, as well as also in the capital of Russia, Moscow.
In December 2019, her paintings were part of a Russian film shoot. The film was released in December 2020 and became part of the film festival.
Nike Kama is an artist of naive painting. Her paintings are in several private collections in different countries: Germany, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia and Israel.
Nike Kama has set herself the following goal: Spreading joy and happiness. She wants the viewer to smile when looking at her colourful art works. In addition, she wants to transmit positive energy with her art works to try to change the viewers’ live for the better as well as promote success in their future. Furthermore, her name has now become a German word and picture trademark.
