Nestor
Nestor is a modern calligraphy artist from Kiev who’s currently based in Toronto.
His way started back in 2012 with street art and exploration of letterforms. This hobby created a path for the artist into the OCAD University where he studied Graphic Design. Using collected knowledge, his focus shifted from the traditional image of a designer to more of an artistic perspective.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Since 2020, Nestor is a great supporter of the modern Calligraphy movement. His main idea is to absorb the knowledge of different cultures & their alphabets to transform traditional letterforms into more abstract / expressive / interesting shapes. Through this practice, the artist believes to unite those cultures together.
