Nina Japaridze is a Ukrainian-born artist with Georgian roots, designer and founder of ETHNICA studio. Her work explores the meeting point of traditional symbolic languages and contemporary aesthetics, creating objects that bridge cultural heritage and the present.

Through intricate patterns built from dots and fine graphic lines, she develops a distinctive visual language described as Symbolic Pointillism. Ethnic ornaments, botanical motifs, and decorative forms come together in intricate patterns that reinterpret cultural symbols in a contemporary way.
