You can feel the vitality and Mediterranean character through this exciting artist’s explosive work.
Bold imagination and intense expression ; sometimes figurative, others abstract, time after time the traces she leaves are meant to carve emotions and stimulate new feelings and sentiments.
Constantly tripping out of the borders of the ordinary ..sometimes stomping her stubborn feet .. some others, a tight-rope walker on a thin line.. Flowing insouciantly amongst dreams and tales and surreal realities..
“Vital ingredients in my life and composition of work are beauty, lust, passion, energy, contrasts, wrath, fantasy and humor. All of these elements help to shape the abstract form of my life. Inhaling feelings . .exhaling art ..”
so as ‘She says, “I ‘ART* MY HEART OUT “
Nicole has presented her work in both team and solo exhibitions around Europe and has participated in a number of museum and art association projects.
