Nicolette Bénard is a Dutch designer and visual artist, known for her distinctive sculptures in which forms appear captured within plexiglass where light, shadow, and form engage in a dialogue of transparency and reflection. Her work explores the delicate balance between perfection and imperfection, inviting viewers to question beauty, identity, and the illusions we construct. Trained as a goldsmith and jeweler, she carries precision and refinement into her sculptural practice. Inspired by her mother’s elegance and passion for pearls, she developed Project B, a series where icons embody beauty, expectation, and subtle irony.
