Artwork location: Switzerland
This artwork presents a captivating fusion of texture and color, evoking a sense of both serenity and depth. Dominated by a palette of soft blues and muted grays, the piece exudes a cool, calming presence. Central to the composition is a series of intricate cracks and fractures, which suggest a narrative of age and transformation. These fissures are meticulously rendered, creating a dynamic interplay with the painting's more fluid, washed areas. The artist employs a layering technique that adds substantial dimensionality to the work, allowing each layer to subtly intersect and reveal glimpses of what lies beneath. This creates a captivating depth that invites the viewer to explore its intricacies. The surface appears almost weathered, as if it has quietly endured the passage of time, adding to its enigmatic allure. The ethereal quality of the colors, combined with the tactile surface, suggests themes of decay and renewal, nature's silent and persistent reclamation. This piece challenges the viewer to consider the beauty found within imperfection and the elegance in simplicity. Assertively, it stands as a testament to the transformative power of time and the perpetual cycle of creation and erosion.

Presentation
Nicole Schlegel was born into an artistic family of poets, musicians, painters and woodcarvers.
Nicole's curiosity leads her to explore and experiment. She constantly asks question, learning new methods along the way.
She appreciates the support of her daughters, an artist and an architect, who always show her a new, deep and diverse view of her work.
Nicole studied jazz in New York: guitar, piano, vocals and improvisation. It was a ver intense and enriching time, both musically and artistically. Paintings were found on the sheets of the lyrics she wrote. Eventually, however, the trees in Central Park were no longer enough for her and Nicole returned to Switzerland.
Keys, bits and bytes
Nicole's work in a recording studio coincided with the exciting time when analogue was being replaced by digital. Her interest in technology was aroused. At a new computer-based company, she worked in IT, tuning machines, teaching and taking responsibility for trading companies and their technical installations and infrastructure, where she learned programming and a lot about systems engineering. Nicole got into the depths of bits and bytes.
One evening everything changed
On the way home in a car, the driver caused an accident. He drove into a tree.
Nicole then spent 7 years healing through meditation, self-healing, as well as doctors and therapists appointments, Once able to socialize again, she traveled, seeking inspiration. To heal herself as much as offer healing to others, Nicole recorded an album of relaxing and meditative music in Glastonbury, England. She held workshops on the effects of music, frequencies and colors in England, Finland and Switzerland.
For Nicole, it is essential to share and receive knowledge at every opportunity, to create with the purpose of helping others feel good, to evoke well-being, joy and to invoke strength to exist plentifully in this world.
In January 2022, after 20 years of focusing on painting, Nicole decided to go public with her paintings.
Since then her paintings have been exhibited in Amsterdam, Milan, Madrid, Monaco, Zurich and will be in the Maya Museum in Cancun. Her work has appeared in the book "Artist's of Today and Tomorrow" and won 2 awards, one in Washington DC and one in Florence.
