Nadine Michon, known as "NAD" "Visual Artist

Vermeil Medal, member of the Academy of Arts Sciences Letters, Member of the International Association of Visual Arts of Unesco (AIAP, CNFAP), Member of the Taylor Foundation, Member of ADAGP, Member of La Maison desArtistes

A complete artist, Nad discovered, in the 80s, the joy that artistic creation brings to through painting: oil, watercolor, pastel, thanks to the enlightened advice of the Master pastellist Alain Victor. Then, always in search of new sensations, she launched into sculpture in 1992. alternating according to her inspiration, brushes, chisels, peepers, while doing her apprenticeship in different workshops and courses, which allowed her to develop her own style and to present us today works that stand out from current trends, beyond fashions and plagiarism.

With sensuality she shapes the Earth, a material that she particularly likes and which allows her to give life to her sensitivity deep, a sensitivity that we find, sublimated, in her Bronzes. It is a personal investment, a long-term, rigorous, carefully considered work, which has allowed her to achieve works full of emotion, with lines of force that bring out her dynamism and the energy she develops to satisfy her desire and her passion: "I do not conceive of Art without harmony or creativity," she says with sincerity and conviction. Doing like everyone else would have no interest for me since, by definition, it would not be me.

Her works, of neo-cubist style, deify the eternal beauty of women, a beauty that she sublimates thanks to her research work on materials, forms and patinas.

« Her sculptures seem to emanate from a world of eternity, a world without night, a world without pain, a world without predators. They turn without moving, feed on light. Nad's Art is essentially seductive. It bewitches us, hypnotizes us like the azure prism of the eye of the Serpent of Paradise before sin. " (Gilbert Clémenti, art founder)

"Full of poetry, Nad's works transport us into a dream universe, to light years away from everyday life, on the edge of surrealism, which is rare in a sculptor. » (Valentin Ponseti, founder of the Salon International du Val d’Or)

“By choosing the “Resistance” camp, Nad embarks on a complicated project. She seeks, and finds, the harmony of lines, the serenity of forms, the calm beauty, the smooth aspect of volumes. It would have been simpler to do like everyone else: let us salute her courage, her faith, her certainty, her poetry, her musicality, her freedom. ” (Jean-Théobald Jacus, official painter of Air and Space)
