Collection: Nitra Art

Nitra Art: Two worlds, one visual language

Nitra was born in Rwanda and arrived in Belgium as a nine-year-old in 1985. That cultural duality – between the lush nature of his native country and the sleek modernity of Europe – forms the heart of his work. In his abstract paintings, he connects colorful African butterflies with the architectural lines of the West. The result is works that are simultaneously organic and geometric, warm and sleek, familiar and exotic. Nitra uses special techniques that cause his paintings to actually change under the influence of temperature differences – every work lives and moves along with its surroundings.

Art that evokes a sense of happiness

The power of Nitra's work lies in the colors: intense, layered, and immediately present. "A work of art by Nitra draws you in through the power of the colors applied. The work has a hypnotic effect and immediately evokes a sense of happiness in the viewer," says Arnoud Bennink. His paintings are not just decorative – they change the atmosphere of a space. At Modernekunst.nl, you will find a selection of his works, available in various sizes.
