• FOREST AT SUSET vintage 1976 abstract surrealist oil painting by Nikolay Nikov - 'NICHE' from his series 'Trees'
• nothing short of mesmerizing and stunning this painting stands out with its intimate, bold and peaceful opus to simplicity. Nothing to distract the eye from the majestic trees sunbathing in the dying glow of the dying sun rays
• masterfully executed in subtle impasto Nikov builds up and defines the forms of the trees with thick, nervous dabs of paint against the pulsating reds of the sunset rendering thus his forest scintillating with mystical calm and intrigue
• Nikov's fascination with trees has its own chapter in his creative works finding the chaotic simplicity of their natural forms both mystifying and artistically evocative
• following in the evolutionary steps in modern art giants such as Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Picasso, Nikov explores the relations of object, color and shadow in his series 'Trees'

• Nikolay Nikov, called Nicheto by everybody, was born in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1924
• his versatile style developed from his beginnings at a French art school in Paris to his repatriation in Sofia; Bulgaria in the early 60's amidst the harsh years of socialism. Nikov's rise to prominence culminates with the highest honor of having one of his flower paintings made into a national post stamp in the mid 70's. Belated tendencies of the French and German Abstract Expressionism movements of the turn of the century could be found in his early works and later interpretations of styles ranging from Modernism to Soviet Non-Conformism are skillfully woven into an own original style
