Tell us about Niko's artwork.

Niko primarily sketches and paints. Sketching: he tends to lean more towards anime at the moment. He will spend hours a day trying to perfect his work and brings his sketch book with him most places . Painting: he uses canvas and acrylic paints. Some of his paintings will be dark and ominous but others bright and hopeful. He loves to incorporate textures into his paintings.

Who or what inspires Niko to create?

I think he loves the ability to express himself in a different way, in his own way. He wakes up every morning before anyone else in the house to grab his paper and pencils to start sketching something new and loves sharing his pieces and explaining them to family, friends and strangers.

What is Niko's favorite art form?

Sketching (anime in particular ) is his biggest passion followed by painting. For Christmas he asked for special sketching pencils and paper. When it comes to painting he has been creating more abstract realism type of pieces.
