Born on January 21, 1962, in Plungė, Lithuania, Vladimiras Nikonovas now resides and creates in Šėta, within the Kėdainiai district. A self-taught artist, Nikonovas has immersed himself in multiple artistic disciplines, such as photography, painting, and sculpture. He is especially recognized for his inventive approach to incorporating unconventional materials into his pieces.
His artistic process is characterized by ongoing experimentation and a devotion to daily creative exploration. By integrating elements from mechanical devices and everyday objects, Nikonovas expertly utilizes essential artistic concepts like form, color, and composition. With these atypical materials, he brings to life imaginative works depicting both real and mythical entities.
Every sculpture or assemblage by Nikonovas is crafted with exceptional care, frequently undergoing years of shaping and sanding before being finalized. These creations are displayed on distinctive surfaces—boards or slabs—that further emphasize their uniqueness. The finished artworks are notable for their originality and resourceful repurposing of ordinary materials.
Vladimiras Nikonovas has actively participated in the art world since 1989, both within Lithuania and internationally. He has taken part in several artistic projects, including seven iterations of the "Homo ludens" art forum, where his sculptures have become significant components of Jonava’s cityscape. In addition, his solo exhibitions have been presented domestically and abroad, solidifying his reputation as an innovative artist in contemporary experimental art.

About this artwork+
This image features a unique artwork by Vladimiras Nikonovas titled "Barbed Fish." It shows an artistic representation of a fish, crafted from metal. The piece combines various textured metal parts to form the body and tail. Notably, the fish's eye is an actual large washer or similar object, adding a touch of whimsy. The fish is mounted against a dark circular backdrop, enhancing its metallic and mechanical details. The artwork's style leans toward a steampunk influence, using metallic elements and mechanical components to create a fusion of past and futuristic vibes. Vladimiras Nikonovas’s creativity is evident in transforming ordinary metal pieces into captivating art. His work often explores themes of nature but with a mechanical twist, providing both aesthetic pleasure and reflection on the relationship between natural and industrial elements.
