Nika’s artistic journey began with an unexpected moment of magic. At just four years old, during a lively gathering at home, she sketched an impromptu portrait of her father. To Nika, it was nothing more than a fleeting act of playfulness. But when the guests - some of whom were artists - caught sight of the drawing, the room fell silent, awed by the talent of the unassuming little girl. It was a day Nika remembers vividly, a spark that set her on the path to a lifelong creative calling.

By fourteen, Nika was studying formally at the Terlemezian College of Fine Arts in Yerevan, Armenia, and at fifteen, she held her first solo exhibition, captivating audiences and establishing herself as a young artist with immense promise. Her journey quickly took her across cultural hubs like Paris, St. Petersburg, Berlin, and London, where her exhibitions continued to draw admiration.

In 1997, Nika’s path led her to the Edgar Chahine Museum in Orne, France, for a summer residency. Immersed in the master’s etching techniques, she prepared for two upcoming solo exhibitions, all while nurturing her craft. Later that year, she moved to a studio in Paris, where she created "The Fifth Element," a celebrated series of oil paintings showcased in Paris in May 1998 and Honfleur in August. These exhibitions cemented her career as a professional artist.

Throughout her journey, Nika’s versatility has remained a defining trait. Her work spans a variety of styles and techniques, each piece infused with a sense of harmony and innovation. She thrives on experimentation, always pushing the boundaries of her craft.

In 2000, Nika earned her Master of Fine Arts degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Yerevan and moved to Los Angeles. She continues to create and showcase her work globally, featuring celebrated series such as What It Takes, Caliber and The Colors of Artsakh. Her art, which has earned numerous awards, now resides in collections around the globe, a testament to her enduring creativity and dedication.

Nika’s story is one of passion, growth, and boundless curiosity - a journey fueled by her love for art and her gratitude for the ability to share it with the world.
