Upcoming Nina Tichava Exhibition: “To The Sky”

February 25th, 2025

Coming in March, we are thrilled to announce a solo exhibition for Nina Tichava, “To the Sky,” which will premier on March 7th from 6 to 9 pm with an artist reception.

New Mexico-based artist Nina Tichava has gained recognition for her large-scale paintings, often diptychs, that layer patterns, geometric elements, and natural forms to inspire a dialogue between digital and analog design and memory. Hand-painted screens of dots she refers to as “Pixels” and stripes combine with abstract brush strokes and painterly details.

Please plan to join us for the Artist Reception.

Each painting is a meditation, inviting viewers to contemplate the consonance between natural cycles and our manufactured systems. By blending organic imagery—blossoms, leaves, and geometric forms—with abstract and intuitive mark-making, the artist brings together the spaces where absence and presence intersect, blurring the boundaries between what is seen and what is felt.

“My work reflects a dialogue between the grounded beauty of the natural world and the vast potential of the unknown. Using mixed-media techniques and a pattern-based approach, I create abstract paintings that weave together elements of the tangible and the ethereal. Through layers of texture, color, and visual rhythm, I explore the tension between the microcosm and the macrocosm—the petals of a blossom mirroring constellations, the ripples of a pond echoing the orbits of stars.

“To the Sky” serves as both a reflection and a reach—a reminder that while we are set by the earth beneath our feet, we are also inherently drawn to the vast unknown above. Through these works, I hope to evoke the quiet awe of looking up at a star-strewn sky or observing the intricate beauty of a flower, encouraging viewers to find moments of connection within the patterns of nature and beyond.”
