NITRA - HYPNOTIC COLOUR SPLENDORS

As a 9-year-old boy, Nitra, born in Rwanda, came to Belgium in 1985. The mix of cultures that so determined his youth has ensured that Nitra connects two worlds in his artwork. He brings his love for the flora and fauna of his native country into contact with modern architecture in Europe. We see this reflected in, among other things, beautiful, abstract works in which he connects colorful African butterflies with the architecture of the West.

Nitra uses special techniques that bring the paintings to life: they change under the influence of temperature differences. “A work of art by Nitra attracts you through the power of the applied colours. The work has a hypnotic effect and immediately evokes a feeling of happiness in the viewer. Nitra's works of art are just as special as the man himself”, says Arnoud Bennink.
