At the early age Mikola moved to Yuzovka (now Donetsk) where he attended classes in drawing and became fond by artwork of Repin and Vasilkivsky. After escaping a prisoner-of-war camp in Poland during World War I he made his way to Germany where his love for art brought him to the private studio of Hans Baluschek in Berlin.
