Nicole Lubbers - Rise

Nicole Lubbers is a Dutch visual artist from the eastern part of the country. Her work is characterized by an innovative and quirky approach to abstract art, where painting, relief, and sculptural elements come together. With rich colors, layered textures, and a variety of materials, she creates powerful works around themes such as resilience, movement, strength, and transformation.

Her international career has developed strongly in recent years. Lubbers was named Artist of the Year 2024 at the Belgrade Biennale, received the Institutional Award of the Municipality of Montecosaro, and placed second at the World Art Awards as Most Innovative Artist 2024. She was also listed among the world’s 100 best female artists and recognized as a Master in Art.

Internationally, her work has been seen and is planned for exhibitions in New York, Venice, Florence, Belgrade, Belgium, China and Montecosaro, in addition to exhibitions in Dutch galleries.

A particular highlight is Beyond the Surface, a solo exhibition on Times Square in New York. In addition, Nicole presents the exhibition Harmony in Motion: Two Artists, One Vision together with artist Michael Lam. Here, Lam’s fluid Single Stroke Painting meets Lubbers’ expressive, layered structures. The color purple forms the connecting line between two different artistic languages and symbolizes creativity, spirituality and transformation.

Nicole Lubbers’ work is more than decoration. Her compositions invite you to reflect on perseverance, growth, and overcoming challenges. Each work forms a powerful and tangible statement that endows a space with character, energy, and individuality.

In addition to her work as a visual artist, Nicole Lubbers is also known as a doll maker. Her artworks are delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
