* Special item!! This is one of the first paintings Nikke Naeme made (out of 1000) at the start of his career. It was made during a trip in Cadaqués, Spain - where Dali lived and worked. He made his painting near the studio, where he took a swim in the sea and where he made most of his work * NIKKE NAEME (1984) is a multidisciplinary artist from the Netherlands. He is an observer of the human psyche and behavior, with a focus on the dark side. Shortcomings, flaws and doubt are recurring themes in his work. Always looking for flip sides, both as a person and as an artist, a slightly schizophrenic character emerges. NIKKE’s work is represented in hundreds of private collections all over the world. His work is on continuously display in Amsterdam & Arnhem. NIKKE’s fanbase of collectors is growing fast. The value of his works is increasing and will continue to rise. ~~~ - Fast, neat and secured handling - Created with high quality products - Protected with archival varnish - Photo’s are not 100% representative.
