This imaginary fortified city shows a very peculiar setting: a huge central rock with buildings bulging out of it a bit like cactus arms.

About the Artist

Nicolas Moussette

France

I am a French and Polish artist, born in Paris in 1972.
Coming from a family of artists (my mother Julita is a sculptor, my sister Gabrielle a painter, my brother Pierre a music composer...) I've expressed myself in my childhood mainly through drawing. Then for many years I dropped art totally and went into studies and work, to realise a few years back I cannot live without creating. A peak time is my New York experience for a few month in 2008, where I briefly just plunged into creation, before coming back to what had become my normal everyday life... After that, this urge for creation has grown on me progressively until a recent making out in 2011, when returning from a very enriching experience as a plumber in Bangladesh slums, where I had spent about a year and a half...
Quite lost at my return home, I can say I slowly came back to myself only through art. The action of sculpting was a highly restructuring experience to me.It rebuilt me and gave a new meaning to my life.
Since then, I've been creating and considering myself as an artist. In the meantime I got married and am a father of adorable twin boys, born in 2016. With this parenthood experience my creation has necessarily evolved, I considered myself primarily as a sculptor, but with restricted time and access to my clay workshop in Touraine I had much frustration. Hence my latest sculpture projects with various materials including recyclables and rubbish, my recent return to drawing, my discovery of collage and also painting to a lesser extent.
Today, another page will be turned with our installation mid 2017 in a new house in Saint Cloud, near Paris, with the possibility of having a workshop at home, and generally more space and more time dedicated to creation.
