‘The Valley of the Subconscious’ is the continuation of the Stillness Speaks series from NinaLovina’s previous collection, expanding the journey from stillness into the hidden and mysterious landscapes of the human mind.

Through these dreamlike paintings, Nina explores the quiet dialogue between light and shadow, consciousness and the unseen layers of the psyche.

Her compositions move fluidly between flowy mists and defined spaces, portraying the beauty that emerges when stillness meets the complexity of the mind.

The recurring bird motif, first introduced in Stillness Speaks, reappears here as the silent observer, a symbol of awareness witnessing the unfolding of the subconscious.

Each painting is accompanied by a digital motion animation, a gentle rhythmic loop that extends the artwork beyond the canvas. These subtle movements create a euphoric resonance, echoing the cycles of thought, emotion, and awakening that shape the inner world.

Nina invites viewers into a meditative experience, a reflection on what it means to feel, to observe, and to return to the essence of being human in an increasingly digital world.

Her art awakens the stillness within us, reminding us that in observing our inner world, we rediscover our wholeness.

About the Artist

Born in Tehran and based in Sydney, Australia since 2010, Ninalovina is a multidisciplinary visual artist working across oil painting, digital drawing, sculpture, and motion-loop video.
With a background in electrical engineering and studies in quantum physics and relativity, Nina’s path has always been guided by curiosity about the unseen patterns that shape existence. Over time, that curiosity turned inward, toward the intricate landscape of human emotion, consciousness, and transformation.
Bridging the logic of science with timeless intuition, her work reflects the union of structure and soul. Deeply inspired by the quantum field, the subconscious, and the sacred layers of human experience, Nina creates art that invites viewers into a dreamlike realm of self-discovery, stillness, and renewal.
Her practice carries softness, symbolism, and surreal atmospheres, where spirit, shadow, and emotion dissolve into form. Alongside her art, Nina holds a certification in Art Therapy and is studying Transformational Coaching with Aletheia, shaping a creative direction devoted to serving humanity and awakening the aliveness within us all.
She is also in the process of developing Co-Creative Academy, a human-emotion and creative education initiative that aims to blend art, expression, and awareness, helping people reconnect with their essence and explore the art of being human.
