Nick Fedaeff transitioned from the world of music to the field of visual arts, marking a notable shift in his creative journey. Before delving into visual arts, he captivated audiences as the frontman of a rock band and as a composer for various theatrical productions and films.

When questioned about the source of his inspiration, Nick often responds with insight into his perpetual role as a composer. He explains, “Melodies and chords have always resided in my musical heart. When I became an artist, I simply changed the keyboard for brushes.”

His artistic style can be characterised as soft surrealism, with each painting open to interpretation as a story. Yet admirers of his work often perceive different narratives in his paintings, a phenomenon that Nick warmly embraces. He remarks, “Creating a painting is a long process. It always becomes a part of me.

Sometimes, the process consumes more than half a year, forging a profound connection. However, once it is displayed in a gallery and available for purchase, I feel like I’ve given birth to a baby. It was a part of my body, but it is no longer solely mine.”

The creative process is magic. For Nick, it’s also an addiction. He calls himself a ‘paintaholic’ because he draws or paints nearly every day. Alongside his artistic pursuits, Nick is a dedicated traveller. For the last 10 years, he has not lived anywhere permanently. His exhibitions span the globe, from the United States to Australia, New Zealand to South Asia, and Europe.
