Nicolina Tyler, Artist
Visual artist, experience spaces designer & accordion player.
Past work includes public art, collaborative painting projects and interactive performance-spectacles.
Hearts of the World, her international art project, brings art to children who might not otherwise have the opportunity to express themselves creatively.
She was an artist in residence for many years at the L.E.S Girls Club of Manhattan and the founder of the Free Art Society, an East Village based arts organization in New York City that explores the degree to which art in public spaces can transform the community that owns it.
Muralista Neoyorquina en Valparaíso
In 2011, Nicolina became the first artist permitted to paint Valparaíso’s century-old Ascensor Artillería funicular — a project that required seven approvals, including UNESCO’s, and was painted at night over a month. This Chilean television feature follows the “New York muralist in Valparaíso” as that work grew into Hearts of the World: workshops and a 15-meter mural painted alongside the city’s children.
