Misa Nikolic is a multi-disciplinary artist originating from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Now teaching several art-focused studies in Prince George, Nikolic brings a unique worldview into his personal art practices. He invites viewers to immerse themselves in thought as they view his photographs along the Galleria walls.

Natural Histories is an exhibition that is presented in an intentionally vague form, giving viewers minimal context to the pieces shown. Nikolic offers a sense of freedom in how one may interpret each photo, allowing the audience to create their own stories through his lens. A quiet statement lies beneath; Nikolic has transformed his roots painting realism, taking to the medium of photography and utilizing a more painterly technique in the images he captures. Through this, we uncover the realization that painting and photography may not be so different after all.
