Each painting begins with a place. A forest path, a riverbed, a hillside warmed by the sun. Nicole collects rocks and soil from these landscapes and grinds it into pigment, allowing the earth itself to become the source of colour and texture.

​

This ritual process transforms raw material into layered, abstract compositions that hold the memory of a place. Nicole's work does not seek to describe a landscape, but to embody it — its stillness, hues, and atmosphere.

​

Earth tones and organic textures create spaces of pause and reflection. On the canvas, they become quiet invitations to slow down, to observe, and to feel grounded in the present moment.
