Born in 1963 in Paris, Nicole Azoulay has turned painting into a genuine artistic quest. From the very beginning, she immersed herself deeply in the exploration of techniques, driven by an insatiable curiosity for texture and color. After six years of rigorous training, she set aside her brushes for a small knife, a simple yet powerful tool that revolutionized her approach to creation. Painting exclusively with a knife, she sculpts her works with fluid and precise movements, transforming each canvas into a vibrant and textured masterpiece. Her creations, rich in reflections and light, reveal subtle buildings, hypnotic water patterns, and sometimes delicate animal forms—spontaneous discoveries within her artistic process. Nicole Azoulay meticulously works on each canvas, often on large formats, which she enhances with a radiant palette: deep reds, solar yellows, electric blues, and intense violets. Each piece invites the viewer into a luminous and immersive world, where emotion guides every stroke. Listed on the art market and celebrated for her unique style, Nicole Azoulay exhibits in prestigious venues such as Monaco, Tokyo, Miami, and the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. Her works, highly sought after by collectors, resonate internationally, captivating and transforming spaces with their presence. Today, she continues to push the boundaries of her art, remaining true to her inexhaustibly rich universe. Nicole Azoulay is a member of the Taylor fundation.
