Niki Neuts  

Since childhood, Niki Neuts has developed a unique perception of her discovery of life and death, which she conveys at the heart of her aesthetic exploration in a distinctive way.
The artist quickly found her mode of expression in artistic fields, leading her to study at the Institut Supérieur des Arts & Techniques de la Mode (ESMOD International) and later at the École Supérieure des Arts et Techniques Graphiques (ESTIENNE). Over the years, Niki Neuts has enriched her artistic research through drawing, painting, sculpture, and installations.
Her works are regularly exhibited and are part of private and public collections in Europe, America, and Asia.

" Her works testify to the capacity within every living being, regardless of its category, for a mutation that can be either beneficial or dangerous. Through the various figures she brings forth - human, animal, vegetal, mineral, waste - often intertwined with one another, it is above all a common story that is told, the story of their fruitful or destructive interactions.
The materials she uses reveal symbolic connections that evoke this perpetual movement of mutation between life (birth), death (the passage, memory), and rebirth (regeneration). They are fragile and sometimes ephemeral; their degradation and perpetual reuse are part of her creative process, which, in itself, constitutes a possible way of preserving the invisible balances of life that she tirelessly seeks to bring to the surface in the realm of perception, of a 'shared consciousness.'
