Les fleurs des noirs minuits 1 (2010) Painting by Geneviève Nicolas

Geneviève Nicolas is a contemporary Belgian painter. Her paintings are abstract explorations of memory and moments. Nicolas describes her process as intuitive and instinctive, a journey to unlock her unconscious and release the marks life has left on her feelings and experiences. She works with bold, gestural application of acrylics and a meticulous application of oil paint, and through her abstract approach, the artist finds the freedom to express herself without censorship or restraint, although there is an internal logic to her work that emerges over time. 

Her painting style also reflects her consciousness of the transient nature of things and the precarious bonds that hold people together, something that she has had a strong sense of since childhood. Yet, almost paradoxically, through her work Nicolas gives permanence to things that are transient - such as light, memory and dreams.

Geneviève Nicolas exhibited her paintings in Belgium, China, Germany, France, USA and many of them are in private collections in Belgium, UK, France, Greece, Thaïland, Angola and the United States.
