ABOUT NICOLE

Nicole Sylvia Javorsky is an artist based in New York City expressing the intricacies of being alive. The concept of duality is core to her paintings, drawings, and mixed media works. She uses texture, color, line, and medium choices as well as abstraction, realism, and text to represent different slices of human perception.

Nicole is a survivor of sexual abuse who struggled to keep herself alive during her adolescence and early adulthood. Nicole's art reflects her own story, healing process, and grief while extrapolating from nature, research, and her own observations on everyday life.
