Daniela Cezara Nikola
“Art, for me, is a sacred process of feeling and surrender. Every colour carries a vibration, every composition a message”
Daniela Cezara Nikola is a London-based artist and educator whose work bridges classical oil painting techniques with a contemporary, intuitive expression. Becoming one with the paintbrush, she feels each pigment as part of her being. Each stroke, a thread of memory, emotion, energy. Bridging painting and poetry as parallel forms, she creates emotional landscapes where silence speaks and colour vibrates with meaning.

About Daniela’s Art
At the heart of her practice is a deep attention to the things we often overlook or run from, the uncomfortable emotions, the taboo moments, the pauses in the mundane, the subtle shifts of feeling, the power of a single hue. Her work invites reflection and intimacy, offering a space where grief, love, longing, and hope emerge as shared human experiences : timeless, tender, and true.
Daniela paints with oils using a fluid, intuitive process, each stroke a response to energy rather than image. Her work is abstract, yet charged with personal and collective emotion. She surrenders to the unknown, letting the canvas become a living terrain where spirit, pigment and presence merge.
The result is work that pulses with honesty and softness. Powerful without force. Delicate without fragility.
She becomes one with the brush. The canvas extends beyond surface, becoming skin, memory, echo. Even the simplest stroke of yellow becomes a quiet revolution.
In Daniela’s world, art is not decoration. It is an experience. A living organism. A moment of emotional clarity in a world that often forgets to feel.
Check out Daniela’s latest Collection: Silent Poetry
Silent Poetry is more than a series. It is a new genre. An emotional technology of art and poem woven into one. Each piece in the series pairs original poetry with abstract oil paintings, an unspoken dialogue between colour and word, soul and surface. These works are designed to slow you down, to bring you into contact with the subtleties of your inner world, and to remind you that feeling deeply is a radical act.
What makes Silent Poetry so unique is its interconnectedness. Each piece is distinct and personal, yet holds space for a universal connection, touching people in entirely different ways while bringing them to the same internal stillness. This is art not just for the eyes but for the soul.
Available to purchase now, the Silent Poetry series includes:
A Symphony of Emotions
This painting is a vibrant tapestry of life’s complex emotional landscape, where chaos and beauty coexist in an intricate dance. Each colour and texture weaves together to express how joy, pain, confusion, and hope are inseparable threads in the fabric of our experience.
It captures the raw, layered truth that emotions are not isolated but flow into and through one another, creating a living symphony that reflects the fullness of being human.
Words of the Heart
An intimate offering of tenderness and vulnerability, this piece delves into the profound process of surrendering to loss. It evokes the bittersweet space where a once powerful connection has faded into the quiet recesses of memory.
Through soft hues and gentle brushstrokes, it holds the delicate tension between holding on and letting go honouring grief, the echoes of love, and the courage it takes to release what was deeply cherished.
Rootless Seeking
This painting is an exploration of spiritual longing and the yearning for connection beyond the tangible. It captures that sensation of being simultaneously grounded and adrift drawn into the vastness of the cosmos while searching for meaning in every moment.
Through swirling pigments and fluid forms, it embodies the sensation of surrendering to a force larger than oneself, inviting viewers into the mystery of being part of the universe’s endless unfolding.
Reflection of the Moon
A quiet meditation on the cyclical nature of life and the serene power of feminine strength. This piece evokes the soft glow of moonlight reflected on water still yet alive with subtle movement.
It honours solitude as a sacred space for renewal and self-discovery, illuminating the gentle resilience that comes from embracing life’s rhythms. Here, vulnerability is strength, and silence becomes a source of luminous clarity.
Into the Void
A contemplative exploration of the quieter, heavier days, the ones that feel stripped of colour, suspended in emotional grayscale. This piece invites the viewer to honour the starkness, to sit with the emptiness, rather than resist it. At the heart of the painting silver foil emerges like a luminous thread of hope within the darkness.
It serves as a gentle reminder that moving through the tunnel, rather than avoiding it, can lead us to the other side. This is not a painting of despair, but of quiet courage of trusting that even in the void, light is always seeking us.
