Artist Profile
NANA S.R.T. is an Austrian-Japanese visual artist based between London and Vienna. Her main medium is photography.
As a young teenager NSRT’s father taught her photography on his Nikon FM – a camera that had accompanied him through his 1970s truck driving days. Today NSRT mainly uses her digital camera to create, and often draws on dance as her inspiration. She is lucky to have had the world of dance at her side for most of her life. It inspires her and urges her to explore and capture its energy.
NSRT is very much drawn to energy as it stems from a universally uniting force.
Her sense of aesthetics is formed by the artists who tune(d) into their core. Artists who dared to grow and express themselves from a place of truth and honesty, contrary to what society wanted to project on to them.
Nana Sakura Rosalia Tinley Klimek (NANA S.R.T.) is a photographer of Austrian–Japanese heritage, living and working between London and Vienna.
Her first photographic series, MOVE! (2009), explored the expressive world of dance and remains part of her public portfolio. A decade later, in 2019, she made her public debut at The Other Art Fair with Saatchi Art in Brooklyn, New York. Since then, her work has been presented at numerous international art fairs, including Red Dot at Miami Art Week (2022, 2023), Art Wynwood (Miami, 2023), Art Santa Fe (2023), and Parallel Vienna (2024).
Her exhibitions extend to group presentations at the Setagaya Art Museum (Japan), Bergdorf Goodman (New York), and a variety of independent and community-driven art events in East London.
In 2024, she published her first photobook, DAIDO LOVE, with Photobook Café Editions, launching it at Offspring London and Peckham24. The book is held at The Photographers’ Gallery and Photobook Café in London, as well as at WestLicht in Vienna.
Dance continues to be a central inspiration in her artistic journey, though her lens also extends to the vibrancy of everyday life. Through DAIDO LOVE and her ongoing projects, NANA S.R.T. captures the interconnectedness of movement, urban experience, and human connection.
Her work is included in private collections across Europe and the United States.
