Nadezhda Lisak

Nadezhda specialises in contemporary portraiture, creating works on canvas, paper or board, ranging from 160cm to 8cm, using acrylic or gouache paints and genuine gold or platinum leaf. Stylistically, her work sits on a junction between fine art and comic art.

Born in London, she now lives and works in the South West of England. She has had paintings accepted for exhibition at the Royal West of England Academy, the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, the Royal Watercolour Society Gallery, The South West Academy of Fine and Applied Arts, and presented her first London solo exhibition at the Royal Academy of Dance in 2025. She exhibits and sells individual works in a large variety of group exhibitions every year.

At core, Nadezhda's work is a celebration of beauty and humanity. Her work is marked by large areas of empty space, an uncluttered design, and a minimal colour palette. The result is a body of work which has a Zen-like quality of stillness and calm.
