NIKO KAPA

Artsted Catalogue, 2023 Edition.

Niko Kapa is an award-winning artist, architect, and researcher.

The essence of his work lies in the exploration of

emotion and identity. Niko’s work has been exhibited internationally

and featured in Biennials and important institutions

around the world as well as private collections.

Recently his ‘Grid’ series has been purchased in Dubai for

660,000$ ranking him among the highest-paid artists in

the Middle East’s art market.

Niko examines how artworks operate as representation

means charged with introspective qualities, integrating

character refractions while being particularly focused on

the concept of transformation. The substance produced

by the artist's body is combined with established sculptural

and architectural materials, transforming corporeal

presence into artworks expressing the human condition.

Gravitated toward existentialism, he reinvents traditional

techniques instilling his own body as a way to include

the creator’s consciousness, while reflecting on notions

of purpose and value.

Artwork: ‘Dilution‘, 2017, oil on canvas, 245 x 390 cm.
