When I first discovered Nina Sechko’s portraiture, I was immediately entranced by her dreamlike compositions, striking color choices, and the mysterious geometric girl reappearing across her work. On the surface, Nina Sechko’s work appears computer-generated. Taking a closer look, her compositions appear to be meticulously embroidered tapestries, but in fact, they are large-scale oil paintings executed to imitate Russian embroidery traditions. Intrigued to know more about her style, technique, and subject matter, I set out to interview the Russian artist and mother.
