"Language lover: I enjoy engaging in French, Portuguese, English, and Spanish"

Bienvenue, welcome to this ceramic art portfolio. I am Nicolas based in France.

Deeply involved in revealing the mineral essence of high-temperature ceramics and in love with the sensitivity expressed in fresh clay, I wish to bring a new perspective to this project, which is divided into six unique pieces. This work is only understandable if one surrenders to the passion of the process. Through a balance between the expert vision of a collector and the sensuality of the investigator who wishes to mentally relive the gestures, the events, but also the purely technical movements of the material. This intimacy allows you to create images in your mind beyond the realization as a sculpture, but also to open the door to active contemplation. An approach that I hope is close to the captivating creations that fascinate us humans, in all cultures and since the beginning of time. I look forward to continuing this reflection, in good company.

The emergence of this form is a process that began with three criteria:

One knee on the ground, and a Cornelian dilemma of an everyday struggle weaving destiny.
Plinth, pedestal draped in solemnity.

"Sagittaire" - Sagittarius

Pathfinder on the ruins of a watchtower. The arms no longer bend a bow, they are the bow. This rider in uniform is an Amazon. She is the bow, she is the direction to follow.

"Poissons" - Pscis

The art of dreams walking

Thinking about the end of winter:

This time, it is the end of the night. This is the last chance before abandoning the game of darkness; before letting go of the exercise of depth.

- The figure stands on the verge of their cosmic journey, like a swimmer ready to release the pool’s edge. (...)
