Artist Nespoon

Nespoon (b. ) was born in 2009. Since then, her work has appeared in over 100 cities, in 40 countries on 5 continents, in the public space, in museums and galleries. They have been published in major print and TV including The Guardian, Huffington Post, Elle or Graffiti Art Magazine. Her public art installation have been exhibited worldwide, including Expo Dubai 2020, European Parliament and Louvre Museum / Lens, France.

She create on the border of urban art, painting and traditional ceramics. Lace patterns became her signature style.

"It’s easiest to treat what I do as decorative art. All my works inspired by the art of lace making are a search for the simplest codes of beauty and harmony. Symmetrical lace patterns have a mesmerizing character, they come from the world of nature, they are everywhere around us, in the calyxes of flowers, skeletons of sea creatures, snowflakes, in patterns painted by frost on windows. They are universal and recognizable all over the world, in all cultures. They are often associated with family home, childhood, security, good old times. I believe that my works based on lace motifs emit good energy, people just like them and smile when they see them."

On another level, her work can be perceived as a symbol of connection between people and cultures. Intertwining threads with ceramic objects or real laces are an excellent metaphor for social relations. Her art also has a distinct female aspect. The lace making was (and still is) cultivated almost exclusively by women and identified with femininity. Until recently, women’s lace circles were an important element of everyday life. Women working together talked about everyday problems, shared their joys and worries, and supported each other. To this day, the connection between lace and femininity is visible in my social media – almost 80% of her followers identify as women.
