BIOGRAPHY
Nelya Akimova (NELYA-NAKI) is an artist who creates unique oil-on-canvas and digital photographic artworks. The main direction of the artist's research is the desire to comprehend the illusory nature of our reality and invite the viewer to take a different way of perceiving our world -
"Welcome to the Game on Earth!"
What if it's true that our whole life on Earth is a big GAME, and we are all just AVATARS? And we can choose our destiny for the next 100 years?
So, in her art, Nelya Akimova (NELYA-NAKI) rethinks the reality of the existing world.
Before she decided to focus on creating art full-time, Akimova enjoyed a successful career working in the pharmaceutical industry. She felt called, however, to live a life beyond the stability and predictability that she had become accustomed to. Moving to Prague in 2018 was the beginning of a new chapter in her life when she began working on her new collection of arts.
Even though her creative journey lasted only 5 years, her works have already been presented at exhibitions in many countries around the world - the USA, Italy, France, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Greece. Also in October 2023, her work was exhibited in London at the Focus Art Fair at the legendary Saatchi Gallery. An important event for her was a solo exhibition in 2024 in one of the central galleries in Prague. It gave her new insights. And she was participating in the exhibition "Personal Structure", Venice, which is part of Art Biennale 2024.
