Artist, Web & Graphic Designer. Curator. Activist & Founder of #WhatsYourElephant.

Niki Lopez is an interdisciplinary artist, curator and activist who is best known

for her vibrant color palate and often “other-worldly” art. Her unique pieces

have been exhibited across South Florida, New York and California. Lopez has

been curating and programming avant-garde art shows and creative events

since 2008, including her signature annual art exhibits at Fort Lauderdale’s

1310 Gallery.

Lopez’s representational work allows her to share and explore stories, symbols

and concepts from ancient cultures and ideologies, as well as provoke thought

about the probability of life in other dimensions, multiple universes and galaxies...

showing how they are all inter-connected with us here on earth.

She is a core team member, pre-visualization artist and producer of the 1310

Bandits, an award-winning women-lead team of visionary filmmakers creating

stories that advocate consciousness and social responsibility.

Lopez founded “What’s Your Elephant,” a movement that creates a safe space

for people to use expressive arts. It includes visual and performing arts, creative

community building, hands-on projects, workshops and events. A well rounded

curator, Lopez has used her skills for various private group exhibits

within South Florida, including working with cultural groups, grassroots initiatives

and nonprofits such as LadyFest Miami and Spoken Soul Festival. Known

for her community spirit and advocacy, Lopez has donated artwork for fundraising

initiatives to support breast cancer awareness and help orphanages in Haiti

and Rwanda. In addition, Lopez runs her independent, award-winning Graphic

Design company, Niki Lopez Creative.
