 Niki Sands: Las Vegas / Nevada - Born to Greek parents in 1960, Niki's passion for the Mediterranean is evident in many of her works, exhibiting vitality and a vivid use of color, while still maintaining a certain softness. An emerging artist, Niki paints elusively, yet constructively with both oils and acrylics, with one never quite knowing what to expect from her next, as she enjoys experimenting with various styles and techniques. Niki's art is collected throughout the United States as well as Canada and Europe.
Artist Statement:
"I believe an artist bares his/her soul when painting. I truly paint from within; my art is inseparably bound up with my personality and soul."
"Painting has been a strong focus in my life and as I continue to create as an artist I hope to bring a smile to someone’s face or perhaps a connection of some sort, that to me is true success."
Commission Work:
If there is a piece that is of interest it can be re-created in some sense. Exact reproduction of course is impossible but a similar painting can be done upon request. Please contact the artist at info@nikijsands.com for further information.
