Nika Shirocorad

Nika’s work explores the interplay between landscape, marine environments, and contemporary abstraction. Drawing inspiration from music, nature, and memory, she captures the mood and essence of place rather than mere representation. Her paintings combine the technical discipline of classical training with a contemporary sensibility, using texture, light, and colour to evoke atmosphere and emotion. Across more than forty years of professional practice, her work has evolved into a distinctive style that balances precision with freedom, observation with imagination. Through painting, she seeks to create immersive experiences that invite viewers to reflect, feel, and connect with the world around them.

Nika is a British contemporary landscape and marine painter trained at the prestigious Surikov State Academic Art Institute in Moscow and later at the University of the Arts London and the Royal Academy of Arts. With over 45 years of professional practice, she has developed
