“NIKA NUOVA | Textile Bodies, Emotional Spaces “

Contemporary Textile Art

On November 3rd 2025, iKonica Art Gallery will open its doors to a solo show by contemporary artist Nika Nuova.The exhibition develops across three intimately linked themes: the female body as a place of origin and spirituality; emotions, made manifest into tangible forms; finally, the landscape, both natural and urban, considered in its affective dimension.
At the heart of Nika Nuova’s artworks lies the resonance between a physical, textile dimension, and its emotional sphere. Interwoven within this dialogue is also the artist’s personal biographical journey—having recently settled in Milan: her creations, made from fabrics and textiles imbued with memories, act as narrative devices that stitch together her roots with a reflection on her new present. Through embroidery gestures— simple yet incisive—the artist performs not only an act of care and preservation, but also of regeneration. This
is how she reclaims her space and her inner world.

Nika Nuova is a textile artist with experiences across diverse fields—from fashion to product design. Driven by a strong awareness of all the creative production’s social and environmental implications, as a natural evolution of her practice she began creating wall sculptures, choosing textile materials for their remarkable versatility and a unique ability to convey complex stories, making them immediately tangible and emotionally resonant. Each creation invites the viewer to go beyond aesthetics.
