"Nitsa is a photographic interpreter of people in the urban scene. Her work is published via world wide web, printed books, and periodic framed print exhibits. Much of it, though capturing both human subject and urban setting, does not center upon either but rather the interplay between them. Elements of paradox and surprise are often strong. " David Morgan, Los Angeles 2005
Nitsa is not only a natural, but an artist of the highest caliber and quite possibly a genius. Her photographs are an addiction. Furthermore, what amazes is the way she goes about creating her art: no fuss, no muss. There is nothing resembling extensive planning prior to a shoot, no lugging of complicated cameras and/or cumbersome equipment. Sounds simple? Maybe so and yet I still don't get it. How does she capture (so effortlessly) these mesmerizing slice-of-life images that leave us captivated and in awe--and (always) yearning for more? The whole doggone thing is a mystery to me. I can't seem to get enough. Kirk Alex, author of Blood, Sweat and Chump Change and Nonentity
