Arts & Frames by Wood Gallery

Nakisa Seika was born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1974.  With a degree in painting from Atlanta College of Art and a deft hand, Nakisa has created a career steeped in both artistic knowledge and cultural deference. Her depth and skill of working with mixed media allows Nakisa to create a technique that is singular to her signature style.

Nakisa’s Japanese heritage is infused into every stroke of her work. The rough hewn, organic textures of Nakisa’s pieces, juxtaposed to the graphic images of nature – all represented in soft hues – contribute to the style of her “Silent Grove” series. The branches of the trees are created from her own tools that are about the thickness of a fingernail. Nakisa is connected to her work in both a visual and intellectual way – it would be impossible, after all, for her to deny the rich roots that gave life to her singular ideas – but she is also tied to her artistic spirit. She is guided by an intrinsic inner dialogue with humanity and nature. Though she is dedicated to the creation of realistic representations, Nakisa uses a variety of mediums and colors for her pieces so that they may reverberate off of one another.
