Description
Nina Mikhailenko (1946)
Russian-born painter Nina Mikhailenko grew up among the intelligentsia and cultural elite of St. Petersburg, where she studied piano, ballet and fine art. She graduated from the renowned Mukhina Art Institute and came to the United States in 1974.
A member of Oil Painters of America, she also works in watercolours, pastels, charcoal and ink, often on location. As a plein-air artist, she has travelled the world to capture the atmosphere of her subjects, and in turn her award-winning paintings have been shown all over the United States and Europe.
Stylistically, her work has roots in a late-19th century Russian art movement called “Peredvishniki.” Literally, the Peredvishniki were itinerants or wanderers, who rebelled against the formal restrictions of the tsarist Imperial Academy of Arts and opted to show their work in new venues. They painted populist themes in an accessible style: peasants, religious celebrations, and Russian landscapes.
Nina Mikhailenko upholds this tradition of creating art that is both serious and accessible. Not surprisingly, her most successful works are commissions, which allow her to match a theme with its environment. Her murals of life on Pampas, bullfights, chefs, cigar smokers, jazz musicians, and well-fed people having fun adorn the walls of upscale steakhouses, for example, and carry no hidden moral agenda.
Her human figures, particularly, embody a depth of character and memory, in close and crowded settings energised by vigorous colour, texture and motion. Nina herself is a small, delicate woman, yet some of her canvasses are enormous. They seem to reflect a heroic impulse: energetic, bright, always stretched to the limit of a realistic style.
Nina masters great quantities of energy, creating art that is densely composed, painstakingly wrought, bold and detailed.
In sum, she is an exceptional artist whose work is vibrant yet comforting, monumental yet in perfect scale with its surroundings.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
