Nikolina Nikolić Wins Second Prize at RE:IMAGINE – ŠkART 2 ART

Artist Nikolina Nikolić has been awarded second prize for her artwork Memory Matrix at RE:IMAGINE – ŠkART 2 ART, a project initiated by the American Chamber of Commerce in Serbia (AmCham) and Philip Morris International. The award was presented on October 13, 2026, at Ložionica in Belgrade, as part of the regional TECHNOVATION SEE 2026 conference. Bringing together ten emerging artists, the project explored the transformation of discarded materials into contemporary artworks, addressing sustainability, material value and creative reinterpretation. Nikolić’s Memory Matrix combines organic forms and electronic components, exploring the relationship between memory, transformation and continuity. Concentric structures suggest movement and interconnectedness, while a light impulse introduces a sense of energy beyond the materials’ original function.
