My name is Noëlla Nechelput and I graduated in 2014 from the Academy in Zottegem. Over the years you can see a certain evolution in my work, especially towards the use of materials. Where I used to work on canvas, I started to focus on painting on textiles during my specialization years. This evolution is very easy to explain by the fact that I work with fabrics every day as a stylist.
In 2018, I began sculpting at the Art Academy in Zottegem. As a sculptor, I am always in search of new forms through hands-on exploration, crafted in various materials.
What fascinates me most are organic shapes and the expression of faces. These forms celebrate the beauty of change and present challenges to observe. The materials I use for this are plaster or ceramic clay, both rewarding to work with. As a painter who primarily focuses on portraying faces, I want to extend this theme into sculptures, giving them a three-dimensional form. Here, I strive to create a unique spectacle of human diversity.
Organic sculptures made of foam and plaster, born from my imagination, tell stories through facial expressions and open the door to a world where art and emotion meet. Let us lose ourselves in the enchantment of these works, a tribute to life itself!
