About us
About us, wow. Live laugh love art. Joking, well not really. It's more of a me not us. Im one person managing this entire thing. Which is fair, not complaining since I chose to do it. Whatever it is so far, It's gone so far so soon. Which in my head is mad. Hi, my names nik, or legally Nikola Anna Zgoda, so not really Dziewic. I was born in June 2006, always the baby of the group. I am an artist, just in case you didn't realise. But this is my 'about us' bit. About me personally (just in case you're doing artist research in secondary or in college) and about what Nikola Dziewic stands for as a brand I think.
So as I already said, my names Nik, Im currently 17 ( October 23 ), I was born on June 19th 2006 in Krakow Poland. Lived there till I was about 1 or 2, something like that and I've been based in Wales, Uk ever since then really. Im also an only child which isn't really interesting but you know. My parents separated when I was about 7. That's it really (Im really trying not to use slang in here). Art wasn't really ever my escape or I never really showed trauma on paper or canvas etc. It was originally just a little hobby on the side, but now it's this, still baffles my brain. The only thing I wanna show through here is me, skill, ink on paper. The way my thoughts work. I don't really know if i'm being honest with you, I don't really know where I get inspiration or ideas from, they're just there in my thoughts.
However back to the more relevant bit, how Nikoladziewic.com came to be and what it really is.
Nikola Dziewic art was originally shithouseterrier. But had to change it after 2 years as I've finally got into a more professional field of work with art, since people don't really take it seriously if have have such a horrible and mortifying word in a name. But quite frankly if people didn't have a stick up their arse I would have kept shithouseterrier. Nikola Dziewic just sounds so boring. Regardless Nikoladziewic.com as a business started to become something in early august 2023, so it's not been long at all. But it's become my baby and my passion and my life.
Beginning of march 2023 I got let go from a job I had for just over a year at that point, about 3 days later I had a college trip around local galleries for artist research, something then and there clicked in me heavily. After we had finished that college trip, I went back to one of the galleries and asked to do an exhibition they said okey yes, all that, put a deposit down and told my parents later that day that's what I want for my 17th birthday, is to host an exhibition in Swansea. I can't lie i'm not going to go through this again its in one of my blog posts. If you want to read the whole story it's there. Regardless, hosted that exhibition end of July till mid august. After all that had finished, I wanted a new thing, something bigger and better. So I made NikolaDziewic.com didn't even realise I had it for about a month because I thought nothing I don't went though, so I just left it. Few weeks later I received a letter from google about my business account being approved or something like that. Logged in and realised that this website was an actual thing.
But that's really how it all happened and since then, I've given my all into this website and business really. (Never realised it took so long to actually develop).
However, just always know that on here, in person, every platform I have, everything I make and everything I do, it's all going step by step, but I will always set my goals to be bigger and better every time, I cannot sit still or stay in one place.
Opportunities aren't just handed out, you get them. And since I was 13 I've always had that nerve to do something big and to achieve what I want from life, since you know you only live once, start now, make mistakes sooner, learn from them and do it better next time.
That's what this brands about really. Me expanding creatively, and if it's something I can do right this second to better my life passion and goal, I will do it.
I want this brand represent the thing of if you've got a goal achieve it. I made it possible for my impossible. So so can you.
For a little context, I sell and make art. (I am currently working on bigger things by the way.) I've also jumped from style to style for the past 5 years so theres most likely going to be work of mine you will like or appreciate. So enjoy like.
I can't lie that was a lot of me just using this website as a diary which I do love. Im not an automated person that's going to communicate with all of you in third person. No point in my opinion. I love you all. So go be creative, do your thing, wether its photography, your makeup at 4 in the morning, sculpture anything really. Unless its not ethical or legal I don't encourage those ones.
But yeah, I love you all, you are my everything. that's it really, thank you x
