A review
Wednesday, 26 September 2007
Nina G. Nahkala, who was born in the Republic of Georgia, grew up in five countries of the former Soviet Union, and now lives and works in Finland, employs pale colors and softly diffused brushstrokes to evoke graceful,  wraith-like female figures enveloped in luminous atmospheres suggestive of unearthly landscapes.

 

The world that she evokes is a place of misty vistas and vast mystery, reminiscent of the rarefied realm of floating nymphs in Henri Fantin-Latour’s “Daughters of the Rhine” or the brilliantly-lit paradise of Philip Otto Runge’s “Morning”.  Like those great Symbolists, Nahkala envisions the idealized female figure as an emissary from an angelic world, and like theirs, her work inspires spiritual contemplation in the viewer.
