NA UTICA:

THE OCE AN OF AR CHE T YPES

Nautica is the new art&luxury collection from European and
Russian artist and master Alexander Nikolenko. In a series

of sea-themed artworks he explores deep archetypical
connection between marine element and human
consciousness.

Carl Jung thought of our consciousness as an island,

surrounded by borderless ocean that represents the
unconscious. Alexander Nikolenko’s art objects represent
patterns and archetypes, a guiding threads in the dark

depths of that unconsciousness. His deep feeling for the
marine themes rooted in his past - all his childhood and
youth passed near Baltic, Japan and Black seas.

Diving into the symboilsm of cradle of life, Alexander

Nikolenko is actualising the timless role of the artist - to
explore unknown and secret spaces of the unconscious.
And if result of such artistic research in the ancient past

was a successful hunt or victory, and in modern days it is an
aesthetic solution for overloaded consciousness, drowned
in the digital ocean of information.
