Nina Koba

Artist Biography

Artist Statement

My art is a dialogue between nature, emotion, and the passage of time. Through oil painting, I capture the raw energy of storms, the fleeting beauty of flowers, and the quiet stories hidden in landscapes. Inspired by the ever-changing sky and the delicate balance of light and shadow, my work explores themes of impermanence, resilience, and memory.

I am particularly drawn to the forces of nature—whether the powerful turbulence of the Caribbean Sea or the soft, meditative presence of cherry blossoms in Vancouver. Each brushstroke is an attempt to preserve a moment, to translate feeling into form, and to invite the viewer into a world where time slows down.

For me, painting is both an act of introspection and an offering. It is a way to connect with others, to share a perspective, and to evoke emotions that words can barely express.”
