Exhibiting Artist: Nikki Besser
The challenge of replicating the existing world into a realistically unique and original concept has always appealed to me and I aim to do so with a twist. I would define my work as a fun mix between realism and surrealism. I aim to bring alive personality traits, convey captivating degrees of emotion, and to preserve certain moments in time as to share the stories of my heart and soul through my use of manipulating and arranging paper. My use of paper in particular in creating the uniqueness of each piece plays the greatest role in the originality of my work. I use hundreds, often times thousands, of strips of paper that are rolled, glued and shaped together in various forms to create original, one of a kind artworks I hope will captivate my viewer with fascination and wonderment for what is possible in the world of creativity, as well as an appreciation for the beautiful things and yet untold stories of this world that continue to serve as sources of inspiration and creative fuel in my work as a story teller. My primary goal as an artist is to give my audience a truly one of a kind viewing experience that will resonate wonder and fascination as they take a deep delve into the art of paper quilling as explored through the inner most musings of my mind’s eye; an adventure into the untold.
