In Nikolova´s work “Morning Mood,” the artist explores the subtle transitions between sky and earth: The narrow, floating space where light meets landscape. She works with soft, pastel color tones that range from warm rose hues through sandy and beige nuances to delicate blue accents. from this palette emerges a calm, almost dreamlike atmosphere that captures the stillness of early morning. The pastel color application is an essential element of her artistic expression. with visible brushstrokes, Nikolova layers the paint onto the canvas, allowing structures to form and dissolve again. The interplay of dense and translucent layers of color creates depth between movement and stillness.
