"Feeding Her Fears" (2024) Original Oil Painting by Nina Grigel

This is the story of a perfectionist who carries the world on her shoulders. And a reminder of how important it is to allow yourself a break and share the responsibility. My painting is a silent bridge to another life — where she is no longer a controller, but simply an observer.

The painting is a reminder: there is life beyond the to-do list.

Series "Baby, It's Just the End to Start Again".
What if we were shown that the end is not a line but a door? This series of works offers just such a perspective. It is a journey to the border where the ruins of the old world become the foundation for the new.
I propose we let go of the fear of the finale and see it as a magical threshold behind which a new reality is born.
"Baby, it's just the end..." is both a whisper and a battle cry. It is a reminder that any destruction carries within it the seed of future creation.
Through a series of pictorial works, I explore the alchemy of transformation: how pain turns into experience, how clarity emerges from the ashes of doubt, and how infinite potential arises from emptiness.
