About

Nina Heimlich is a German born artist. She has lived and worked in Paris, New York, San Francisco and Washington D.C. and is currently based in Berlin.

Nina first entered the world of visual arts in the international fashion scene. She has worked with the world's most accomplished photographers, including Helmut Newton, Peter Lindbergh, Steven Klein, Steven Meisel, Arthur Elgort, Patrick Demarchelier, Juergen Teller and Miles Aldridge. Nina has worked for world-famous fashion designers, including Alexander McQueen, Karl Lagerfeld, Calvin Klein, Tom Ford, John Galliano, Donatella Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, Donna Karan and Rei Kawakubo from Comme des Garçons.

The outstanding artistry and the creative energy of her surroundings inspired Nina to explore and create her own visual worlds combining zeitgeist, rebellion and future-oriented beauty. In close cooperation with fashion designers and photographers she learned the craft and process of creation from inspiration to public presentation. Along this journey, the sensual and haptic properties of fabrics became part of her creative vocabulary.

Longing for a deeper understanding of the source of all creativity, Nina studies various spiritual traditions, including traditional yogic practices and various forms of meditation that deepen her artistic expression and inform the creation of each artwork.

Nina attended the renowned Art Students League of New York, like before her such luminaries as Louise Bourgeois, Jackson Pollock and Cy Twombly.
