Nekka is a contemporary pop surrealist artist and illustrator whose style can be described as a range of all things cute and whimsical with a tinge of punk and bubble-goth. It’s just that bitter-sweet.
She studied Visual Communication & Illustration at UniSA and now works as a part-time illustrator and part-time web designer. She is currently living in Adelaide, Australia.
“The name “Nekka” was serendipitous: it was a special nickname given to me by my brother when he was little and mispronounced my name. It stuck ever since, and now that I have my own illustration business it is the perfect encapsulation of everything I do.”
“My studio is full of feathers, paint, and sketchbooks. It’s a beautiful, chaotic mess, but that’s just the way I like it. My aim in every painting is to take light and dark and put them together, as a way to make the beautiful creepy and vice versa. I love drawing people and animals in everyday situations with a slight eccentric and imaginative twist."
"The most magical thing about illustration for me is bringing imagination to life. I love inventing characters and stories and giving them a purpose. All my illustrations explore imaginary worlds that leave an unexplained mystery."
"I’ve been passionate about illustration since childhood. The most magical thing about illustration for me is bringing imagination to life. I love inventing characters and stories and giving them a purpose. My favourite part of a project is constructing its narrative background. I have a neverending fascination with colour and exploring unique compositions. I think those are the two major elements that inspire my work.”
As a full-time artist living off my art I rely on the support from my community to keep creating. If you'd like to support me, you can help in the following ways:

How does one know if they are in the wrong story? And if leaving be the answer, where is the door that leads to fresh perspectives and preferred challenges ?
