Nikolina likes exploring how people behave out of their comfort zone. This latest series of paintings titled “Dress Code” immerses iconic figures from famous paintings into a modern life environment where people continue with their routine without paying any attention to “the elephant in the room”. The artist uses the technique and visual language of the old masters that she borrows the main figure from. It turns out to be almost as difficult as learning a foreign language.

Kovalenko states, “My work captures the confrontation between realism and idealism making the modern consumer choke on their choices. Let others deal with your internal chaos. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”

Nikolina Kovalenko received her MFA from Moscow Surikov Art Institute and studied in Berlin at UDK. She holds a Gold Medal from the Russian Art Academy. Nikolina currently lives and works in New York.
