About
Born and raised in Boston, MA, Nickolaos (Niko) Tzigizis is a first-generation Greek-American visual artist.
With a preferred medium of photography, Niko currently uses both analog and digital techniques to create his work. By “capturing” aspects of reality, Niko attempts to explore ideas and notions of human emotion, ego, nature, and the sublime.
As an artist, Niko, feels as though each piece, thought, and sketch acts as its own entity. Each idea is its own world. The artist acts as its own universe, continuously giving birth to new worlds and destroying others.
Each piece stands as a portal to its world; its only job to connect to you.
