Nila Faith
Bio Born and raised in Nashville, TN, Nila Faith Frederiksen has been making art throughout her life. With a focus in line work and rendering, she explores the overlap between fantasy and reality; her contemporary and precision-oriented take on surrealism, pop art, and psychedelia is unique and ever-evolving. With a background in drawing and painting, Frederiksen has been focusing on tattooing since late 2021.She is twenty seven years old and is currently based in Los Angeles.
Artist Statement The work that I create is a study of my daydreams, feelings, and the life force that connects us all; I am interested in exploring the healing power of visuals while paying homage to the brilliance of nature. I paint, draw, and tattoo things and concepts that make me especially excited about being alive, including interdimensionality, sexuality, self-growth, obsession, and the potency of good energy.
