Nicolette Benard

Nicolette Bénard is a Dutch art designer and sculptural artist whose handmade works explore identity, self-image and the ways people are seen by others. Working from her studio, she creates collectible art sculptures that invite viewers to look beyond familiar appearances. Her series The Veiled Self partially conceals the face, using this gesture to raise questions about what remains visible when aspects of identity are hidden. Each sculpture is made by hand and incorporates a freshwater pearl, a personal tribute to her mother and a recurring meaningful element in her practice.

The brand’s range includes available artworks and the Signed for Life tattoo collection, alongside pieces presented through exhibitions. Featured works include Gliding in Bloom, She’s in Bloom, Boundless, Moya, Residual Blue, Dutch Disguise, Golden Escape and Blossom Dream. Bénard’s work has appeared at Museum MOYA in the Netherlands and PAN Amsterdam 2025, with MPV Gallery also mentioned among her exhibition contexts. Through distinctive sculptural designs, she encourages people to pause, observe closely and consider their own sense of identity.
