Coucher du Soleil

Nicole Schaap (Brussels 1943), studied at the renowned High Council for Diamonds in Antwerp before setting up her own studio in Breda (Netherlands).

As a smith she designs and makes jewelry from her own graphic compositions. She allows lines and surfaces to flow into each other in an extremely skilful way. Her jewelry is therefore all minuscule works of art without equal.

As a painter she was strongly inspired by Karel Appel, Picasso and Miro. She has a unique style of her own, with a narrative character, certainly not figurative, but not purely abstract either.

In her works she knows how to combine her architectural lines with a range of subtle colors in a virtuoso way. This results in strong but very refined work, which is mainly characterized by its cheerful and fresh colours.

Over the years she has more than proven her originality and creativity and her artworks are sold at home and abroad.
