"Time is now, it is past and future; Time is the image of infinity, the projection of an idea, a container of entropy and rigor.
The artist perceives it and transforms it into metaphor; Blends it with thoughts and from these captures contrasted visions of the intimate human.
Through photographic manipulation there can be everything and the opposite of everything; As dreams create absurd connections Nikolina entrusts her fantastic characters with the task of confusing reality and leading the spectator beyond the sphere of the known.
Landscapes, still life, skeletons, and animals tell about emotions and soul moods; They represent the complicated visions of the human mind.
The trees have roots in the earth but not in heaven a bit like man in his hypothetical life cycle.
Pumpkins, elephants, pears and fish share the same environment, the same fable.
These dream ferryers repeat themselves in variable patterns as they do in everyday life, intercepting intimacy, conflict and metamorphosis.
What exists decides it for the imagination without, however, ever omitting a bottom of truth that links the logic to the irrational."
- review by Simona Albani

Nikolina feels a profound fascination with human behavior: with her works she searches to underline the psychological and social aspects of our identity and effects that endless soul searching has on our lives.
In her metaphorical presentations, from multiple personalities, dreamlike landscapes to strange and dark creatures and environments, she uses the observation of inner conflicts and questions that arise from them, as a dreamy and vivid example to show complex human emotions and drives as well as her subjective personal experience of the world.
She expresses her eerie visions through screenshots of an imagined story, by guiding the viewer on a journey through imaginative visual interpretations of her fictional worlds.
Her motives are sometimes dark and gloomy and often present dreamlike ambients and strange creatures. She personifies them with her state of consciousness, inner conflicts and excessive dreamy nature.
"Nikolina has found a way to show daydreaming in a new and refreshing way.
Her images are different and full of intrigue.
Items from everyday life become storytellers who guide us to the fairy tale land of dreams and imagination.
Nevertheless there are also questions raised about existence and reality which guide us to the new and sometimes darker spheres. Ultimately, they give us fresh view to the world around us.”
