NISKY is a multidisciplinary artist who fuses painting, music, literature, and cinematic influences into a cohesive creative vision. His pseudonym honors his admiration for visionary filmmakers Federico Fellini and Krzysztof Kieslowski. Currently, he is living and working in Shanghai. His work has continued to exhibit in China, Europe, and in the U.S.A., including Fou Gallery, New York (2025); Galerie Dumonteil, Paris (2024/2017); Galerie Dumonteil, New York (2014); Galerie Dumonteill, Shanghai (2020/2017/2013) and Power Station of Art, Shanghai (2013).

A musician since founding his band at 18, NISKY approaches art and music with the belief that creation must "ignite" the artist. His practice revolves around Metacollage, a pioneering method that transcends traditional collage by achieving a complete osmosis between diverse materials and techniques. This innovative process blends spontaneity and intention, as he transforms textured paint layers and accidental marks into vivid landscapes and figures—mirroring the imagination of finding shapes in the clouds. Drawing inspiration from the revolutionary culture of the 1950s and 60s and artists like Max Ernst, Zao Wou-Ki, and Anselm Kiefer, NISKY’s textured canvases embody a dynamic interplay of tradition and innovation, bridging art forms to create a truly immersive experience.
