About artist
Nina Tokhtaman Valetova is a New York based artist who holds a Master's degree in Art from the University BGPU in Ufa. She has been working as a painter since 1982. Nina's work explores the relationship between ancient cultures, mythologies, fantasy, metaphysics, and philosophy.
Her paintings and drawings cannot be classified within a particular framework of definitions or styles. In general, Nina's art defies categorization, and each piece is often created in several styles. Nina is constantly searching for new ways to create art, and as a result, she has established the Synthesis Art Style in contemporary art, which combines suprematism, surrealism, cubism, abstract, and figurative arts.
