Certificate of Authenticity included



Calathea symbolizes a new beginning; 'to turn over a new leaf'. It is the first painting I made for this collection, and it set the theme. It is heavy bodied with black concrete juxtaposed with glossy silver indents. It is a tactile piece with a somber yet robust colour contrast.



A little more about this collection:

This collection represents the start of a new journey and a new vision. The name of this collection comes from the angel number 222 that represents you being on the right path and guides you to follow your inner joy. It is also a sign on mental progress, and a portal to new beginnings.

My new body of work has solidified my signature technique of heavy tactile textures contrasted with airy, and gleaming surfaces. It represents a fresh start and gratitude for the future. Each piece in this collection has its own story and its own way of retelling it.

I hope that when you find the piece that speaks to you it can serve you as a reminder of how far you’ve come, and that darkness doesn’t last forever; you deserve a fresh beginning.

Change Brings Happiness

Nik Torres is a Toronto based, Colombian-Canadian mixed media abstract artist. She explores her experiences of migration and self-discovery as she finds her way through harmonizing colours and textures. These abstract narratives allow her to reconcile with her feelings of displacement, and cultural identity, while she strives to resolve her own mental health path and find love within herself. Her work creates subtle voices of serenity, and harmony that can resonate with viewers who are aiming to reconcile with their own internal struggles.

Torres holds an MA in Education from McGill University, where she focused on creative poetic inquiry that voiced immigrants’ struggles as they arrived to North America. She holds a BEd, and a BA in Visual Arts. She has worked with other creative mediums throughout her life; photography, poetry, and digital installations amongst others. She has recently taken up her art career full-time, after 9 years in the education field.
