Welcome to Ethnica's Universe!
ETHNICA decor is a brand inspired by tradition, nature, world cultures, and historical ornaments. Different things are painted using a special technique of combining small dots and ornate delicate painting on different surfaces: ceramic, wood, leather, metal, and canvas.
Nina Japaridze is a Ukrainian born artist with Georgian roots, designer, founder of ETHNICA studio. Each piece is completely designed, handmade, and finished in this studio. Currently Nina lives in Pyrénées-Atlantiques region of France, where she painting in her home studio in Pau, working on collaborations and commissions. You can find her work around the globe, from someone’s home decoration to traveler’s accessories.
About the Technique
Nina’s works are created through a slow process of building patterns with dots and lines. Through repetitive gestures and the use of pointillism, she approaches painting as a ritual practice that accumulates time, movement, and attention, allowing patterns, energy, and meaning to unfold layer by layer.
Drawing on research into architecture, geography, and traditional motifs, Nina reinterprets these visual languages into contemporary symbolic objects. This approach has evolved into what she describes as Symbolic Pointillism — a technique where dots and lines gradually form intricate symbolic structures across diverse surfaces and forms.
