OLIVER NIKO

Artist and writer

About me

Thank you for visiting my page! I'm Oliver, a severely disabled artist and writer based in the UK. I pride myself on my painterly, soft works with dreamy lighting to invoke emotion and awe in the viewer. I'm both digital and traditional based. Soft pastels are my go-to, but I'm also learning oils and enjoy sketching in a variety of mediums.I'm inspired by classic art, video games and fantasy most of all, with disability and LGBTQ themes also appearing regularly in my works. I also love painting animals—especially cats!I create both originals and fanworks. For the latter, I'm especially interested in Fire Emblem, the Tales Of series, The Legend of Zelda and many more, and often frequent these fan spaces.

Art Commissions

Currently, I take occasional slots when my schedule and health both allow. These are often to raise funds for mutual aid causes on the side of other projects. This page and my social media are updated with availability.Current commission rotation: Digital Ethereal Pet Portraits for mutual aid, one slot to reopen by May.
