Affiliation: Member of ARK amsterdam collective
Nina van Tuikwerd is a designer and visual storyteller who is not only investigates the ecological crisis but also gives it form and voice. Her work stems from a deep awareness of the deteriorating relationship between humans and nature.
Unbound by a single medium but driven by a clear message, she creates new narratives in which the Earth is not passive, but an autonomous force. Through fiction, imagery, and science, she reveals what is at stake and what we might still be able to save. Her worlds are as magical as they are confronting, urging a fundamental rethinking of our human presence on this planet.
Nina graduated with distinction from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (2019) and completed the master’s program ‘F for Fact’ at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam (2024).
