Nina Tichava: If It Is, The Ocean

May 3 - May 31st, 2025


Nina Tichava’s work is about relationships - relationships between materials, between forms, between the viewer and the artwork. Through a layering process developed over decades that integrates painting and printmaking techniques, Tichava weaves together geometry, texture, color, and pattern. Elegant and refined, Tichava’s compositions are built of complex layers, many of which are over-painted and concealed.
