One of the hallmarks of Niat’s work is his ability to tell compelling stories through his art. In his latest series, he explores the theme of love through the lens of three couples. Through subtle symbolism and nuanced imagery, Niat challenges viewers to question the influence of societal expectations on personal relationships. Each couple in the series grapples with a potential conflict, serving as a reflection of the external pressures that often infiltrate intimate bonds. From cultural traditions to societal norms, Niat’s art invites us to ponder how these influences shape our understanding of love and connection.
“In the future digital will take precedence over illustration itself. When I see the evolution of techniques and means of artistic and visual representation today, I think that in the future digital will take precedence over illustration itself. In the course of my work the arrival of virtual and augmented reality may in the future, be able to imagine projects where an individual interacts with my work, moving from spectator to actor.
