tocando el tambor (2012) Painting by Pipo Jost Nicolas

She is swiss, the daughter of an architect, she begins to draw very early, following the advice of her father. She earns several drawing contests as a young girl. Then later, she chooses a school of fashion design, in Neuchâtel. She has the opportunity of studying, between others, with Marcel North and Henri Barbier, both reconized artists in Switzerland.

Throughout the years, she uses all types of materials and assorted techniques and styles, and since she has arrived in Mojácar in 1989, she specializes in watercolor in a more realistic style.

"... It is a soft and shaded technique that is carried specially well with the nature... This nature, I try to represent it through landscapes, persons or animals that share my life. I attempt to transmit the tenderness of the look of my dog or the eroticism of a nude body, the heat of the sun and the freshness of the shade, the dampness of the sea or the powder of the desert, and also the light so alive in this Andalusian land. It is a form of simple and direct expression that it does not intend anything else but to give pleasure to the eyes ... Pipo"

In other way, Pipo who born synesthesist, likes to represent the pictures which arrive in her head (specially when she feels emotions) through abstract painting, generally using acrylic.

From 2000, she gives classes of drawing and painting in Mojácar.
