Back Stage Queen

Nicole Mathieu (Niko) is a Montreal-born artist whose painting practice began in 1988 after formal training in therapeutic arts. Drawing from her global experiences and disciplined daily practice, she masters a dynamic technique characterized by vibrant, impulsive colors and expressive, sensual subjects. Her work deconstructs precise form to reveal underlying vitality and energy, balancing spontaneity with a rigorous exploration of visual perception and emotional depth.
