Nicole Gigatti

Nicole Gigatti (1986) moved to the Netherlands at the age of six and has moved nineteen times since then. From her early childhood, feeling at home and her physical environment became important elements in her life. She attended Lucia Marthas dance preparatory training from 2001 untill 2003. Movement became a means to explore her body. After her studies in Fashion Design and Communication at the art academy of Utrecht from 2006 till 2010, she decided to pursue her true passion of painting. From 2014 untill now she has been combining painting, movement and researching the tactility of materials. In this process she investigates the formalistic methods of the contemporary art world and Street art culture. She is inspired by artist Katharina Grosse, Fabienne Verdier and street artist Pavel Rtue. She considers herself part of the post-vandalism movement in the visual arts.
