Art collect Store - Nicole Azoulay

Born in Paris in 1963, Nicole Azoulay is a painter whose atypical path commands admiration. Always drawn to art, she finally took the leap in 2013, at a moment in her life when creative expression became essential. This marked the beginning of an intense period of training: for more than six years, she followed private lessons at home — six hours a day, four days a week. An exceptional discipline devoted to a passion long held back. She explored and perfected various techniques — watercolor, oil, acrylic — until she discovered her own pictorial voice.

Now working in her Paris studio, Nicole Azoulay embraces her autodidactic approach: “Over the years, I managed to free myself by expressing my emotions and letting my imagination flow freely through my abstract paintings, working with transparency and the juxtaposition of colors.” A mother of four and passionate about travel, she infuses her work with the radiant energy and vibrant sensitivity that define her artistic universe.

Her large-format paintings, created almost exclusively with a palette knife, are sometimes enhanced with a few brushstrokes. Each piece becomes a landscape of sensations, an immersion into a world where color, texture, and movement engage in a powerful dialogue. Titles such as Turquoise Waters, Depth of the Ocean, Emotion, Dreams, or Explosion of Colors reflect her desire to embrace life in all its nuances. Her universe — abstract yet readable, dreamlike yet grounded — resonates like an invitation to inner exploration.

Nicole Azoulay also stands out with a unique signature: a paintbrush glued directly onto the canvas, personalized with her name. A way of leaving, quite literally, a trace of her presence. The enthusiasm she conveys through her works has quickly won over a loyal audience, sensitive to the generosity and vibrancy of her creative expression.

Since March 2024, she has been listed in the Dictionnaire des Artistes Cotés (GUID’ARTS) as well as at the National Academy of Contemporary Art, following an expert review by Pierre Gimenez. In April, she sold her first work at auction on Drouot.com; another followed in May. That same year, she received an official valuation from Christian Sorriano, a renowned auctioneer and expert, further solidifying her market presence. In June, Pierre Gimenez revised her valuation upward after several sales — a confirmation of the growing momentum surrounding her work. Nicole has even sold a painting to a foreign Head of State — a discreet yet emblematic recognition.

Today, Nicole Azoulay continues her artistic journey with passion, navigating between vibrant intensity, controlled abstraction, and a deep desire for creative encounters. Her style keeps evolving, between real and unreal, emotion and intuition, always seeking to touch the hearts of those who cross paths with her work.
