Lovely Nightmares

The lovely creations of Nicolette Checcoli are fragile and cold. Tamers, sirens, amazons… Ethereal, stylish, and terrifying. A world that resonates with surreal ideals, where doll-like girls with porcelain skin move.
"Lovely Nightmares" is the first book by Nicolette Checcoli published... in Russia, and the first art book in the world dedicated to her work. In five chapters — "Kids in Toyland", "Lovely Nightmares", "Undines", "Forbidden Fruit", "Unknown and Beautiful" — almost all of her works are collected: dreamy, poetic, wonderful, and monstrous characters from the world of the author's dreams, nightmares, and fantasies. Such is her painting: simultaneously soft and dreamy, yet melancholic and seductive, magical but stirring, anxious.
The incredible power of Checcoli lies in making the reader and viewer immerse themselves in her painful and genius imagination, leaving no one indifferent.
