Opacity and Speed

by Niki Usagi

Who are you?
I’m Niki, a visual artist + wine enthusiast + employee of the year. Oh, and a Stepford wife.

Where do you live?
In London, UK.

What is your current state of mind?
Restless, as usual.

How do you define art?
The meaning of life. Or at least mine.

What is your favorite quality in a person?
Straightforward and independent.

What is your favorite quality in a piece of art?
Humor, irony and bravery. I like daring pieces both in their topic and visuality.

Who is your favorite artist?
That’s a very difficult question, I couldn’t name only one.

What is your favorite adjective?
"whimsical"

What is your best quality?
I can love real hard.

What is your worst habit?
Smiling even if I don’t feel like it. It’s really hard to stop yourself if you did that all your life.

What is your favorite medium?
I love acrylic because of its speed and opacity, it suits to my work very well. Also have a massive fetish of hand-made cotton rag paper.

What is your favorite meal?
Anything my husband makes me.

What are you looking forward to?
To move to a place where we can finally have pets. Two cats and a dog would be ideal.
