I make ornament impossible to ignore. Wallpaper, porcelain, furniture, cars.

Nina Levett is a Viennese artist who has been making patterns every day since 2004.

Her work lives on walls, on porcelain, on textiles, on furniture, and on a hand-painted Porsche. It has been collected by the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) in Vienna, the Alessi Museum in Italy, and the Angerlehner Museum in Austria. It has been published in Dezeen, Gestalten, and IdN Magazine. Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator at MoMA New York, once wrote to her: "You are on my radar."

She is represented by Galerie Haas and Gschwandtner in Salzburg.

Her patterns are not decoration. They are autobiography. Every motif comes from lived experience — from the choreography of housework, from the weight of motherhood, from mornings spent journaling before anyone else wakes up.

She studied architecture at the University of Applied Arts (Angewandte) and business at WU Wien. She lived in Italy for eleven years. She has four children. She runs. She writes. She is finishing a memoir called Things I Burned Down to Build.

Her grandfather, Oswald Levett, was an Austrian novelist published by Suhrkamp. He was murdered by the Nazis in 1942. She carries his name.
