Biography
Born in Miami Beach in 1970, Nicholas Nehaniv came into an environment full of art and
design.At age three, he was featured in the Miami Herald, at Crandon Park Zoo's,
"Young Painters Day".As his family traveled the world, Nicholas was exposed to art from
Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and his influence to create sculpture began.
In 1990, Nicholas obtained an A.S. degree from the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, and
an A.A. in Cyber Art and Sculpture from New World School of the Arts in Miami, Florida,
in 1992.As his interests in design and engineering grew, he went on to achieve a B.F.A.
degree in Industrial Design from Center for Creative Studies in Detroit Michigan, in 2000.
He soon after married Artist and college sweetheart, Colleen Kelley and moved back to
Miami Beach where he began to explore creating figurative sculpture with organic,
speed-form qualities.
In 2001, Nicholas became a Resident Artist of the Bakehouse Art Complex in the
Wynwood Arts District of Miami, Florida. There, he began designing and sculpting
furniture and large-scale artworks in, metal and found objects; most of his works inspired
by scientific principles and the fluidity of movement of the human form.
Today, many of his sculptures are large, kinetic art works. Using balance, centrifugal
force and wind to create movement in graceful, natural forms, his artworks respond to
their environments.
Nicholas often collaborates with wife, Colleen in the design and creation of many large-
scale sculptures designed for architectural environments through private and public art
commissions. Many of these works are permanently installed throughout South Florida
and the United States. Nicholas' art works can be seen in many private collections
throughout the world.
