Growing up is a mix of a lot of things, but part of it is about learning who you are. And when you’re an artist, figuring out precisely who you are can manifest itself into a myriad of ways. In the case of Nicky Ripaldi, she’s clearly discovered who she is as an artist, and it’s not your typical run of the mill thing, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
The more you look at Nicky’s work, the more impressed you are by her level of uniqueness. As she states on her profile, she uses “old bones of materials” , which she then reincarnates “into a new, and unique piece of art.” In other words, she’s so creative that she basically invented her own art medium.
Within her work, you’ll notice some theme recurring, such as old school video gaming. Above you can see an makeshift GameBoy she created, along with the enemies from PacMan. Clearly Nicky loves combining one passion with another, which is definitely fun whenever you’re an artist.
