Nicole Post Art & Design

Art academy qualified, creative as Art Director and visual artist. My artworks are tender, intuitive explorations of the female nude. I prefer to work with natural materials and layered techniques: Indian ink, graphite, charcoal, old book pages, and gold leaf. On paper, wood, or canvas. Each material tells its own story.

Gold leaf plays a special role in my work. It is a time-consuming craft, but the process is meditative and healing. To me, gold symbolizes the inner light we all carry, the divine within us. My inspiration comes from life drawing sessions, classical nudes through the ages, and the present day. Every body, female or male, has its own story, shape, proportion, and beauty. That fascinates me.

“My work is an expression of feeling, of raw emotion and quiet beauty. An intuitive translation that touches the viewer, often wordlessly, but deep within.”
