Raquel Nikfarjam -Fine & Commercial Artist

Picture
Bio 
As a non-conformist living in the high society of New York, Raquel Nikfarjam's contemporary artwork holds a strong focus on American pop culture.  Captivated by the variety and unconventionality of media used in the modern art world today, Raquel uses this artistic approach of amorphous expression to create her own art. A deluge of surreal designs and bright colors are used through several media to display the intensity of life's defining moments.  An alternate perspective to societal trends is communicated in a palpable emotional reality through hidden messages waiting to be deciphered.     

Rather than solely intended to satisfy, Raquel's work serves a didactic and cognizable purpose. "I enjoy using art to communicate ideas such as issues in the privileged class, and other times to simply re-create aesthetic experiences in my eyes," she says. However, the artist's ultimate goal is to trigger a reaction from spectators, as she believes that their interpretations serve as a major contribution to the creative act. In a world where we are taught to conform since birth, Raquel believes that art does not need to answer to anyone, yet is meant to inspire everyone.
