Niqui Toldi

In her portfolio, Niqui Toldi explores self-discovery, empowerment, and resilience. Her art showcases bold femme figures, embodying confidence and celebrating the strength of women of colour. Forged in a difficult upbringing, her work is a visual journey, honouring a boldness arising from vulnerability. Niqui invites others to share in this path of self-discovery and self-love through her skilful narrative. An ode to enduring power within vulnerability.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Niqui's work often looks at what it means to 'take up space'. Even though we know power imbalances exist, changing this dynamic is still challenging. Niqui used Darwin's natural elements - lightning storms, waterways, fires, and fertile soil - as metaphors for power, resilience, and the First Nations people of the area. At the centre of her piece a feminine figure holds the viewer's gaze, grounded in her power. The abstract dandelions represent immigrant communities, hinting at the complexities of belonging and exclusion.
