Natalia Kolovershin, an art critic and a member of the International Association of Art Critics, says:

“The works of Galina Nikitina are in some way the fragments of life, impressions, moods, and associations. In her melodious, refined, and full of melting shades of colors batiks you can find timeless mirages, secrets, and presentiments. Color and light within her works disappear and deepen as if by magic! There is a certain mystery, the magic of shimmering colors, the play of forms in her landscapes, still life and compositions.

Every touch of her brush reveals freedom and originality. Her knowledge and the deep insight into the favorite epochs of art history, into the archaism, and excellent command of all the techniques of batik do not constrain the creative energy of the artist, but enrich and saturate it.

Ornamental replicas and symbol images of ancient times in her batiks organically intertwine into a single whole, into a vivid space with a plenty of intriguing turns, compositional and conceptual moves. All of those keep your eyes locked on the batik and appeal to your soul deeply”.
