Durand Nicole

FEATURED ARTIST

Italian and French sculptor, Nicole has been exhibiting around the world. She has inherited the richness of both cultures and is inspired by master stone carvers Michelangelo and Rodin.

Nicole, as a stone carver, is captivated by alabaster for its ethereal translucency, allowing light to penetrate and symbolize the flow of energy. Her deep appreciation for bronze stems from its remarkable versatility, particularly the diverse patinas it offers, enabling a wide range of artistic expression. Through her sculptures, Durand aims to convey the divine energy within all beings, celebrating the inner goddess in every woman and the universal essence of love that binds humanity together.
