"I am just stunned by your art that I just discovered. You are a true artist and I am sure that you will have a great future in what you have choosen to be" Giorgio, painter - Juin 2007

“I came up to her atelier during the artists’ open door studio of the 13th arrondissement in Paris in 2003. She had told me that there were 4 floors to go up and not to worry to come along because of my old age. But god, I don’t regret one second having done so. I was overcome by what I discovered and I stayed a fairly long time looking at everything I could in every corner of her place. Discovering Nicole M.Mathieu’s work was a real surprise to me, seeing such a rich and diversified show and, especially, such an evolvement in so little time. And it is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I encourage her to keep going and never stop in this fantastic and fructuous search where one cann encounter already a master's hand”. Mme Médioni, Paris

“Looking at N.M.Mathieu’s art work, painter and pastellist, one may sometimes think that it is a very discontinued work or that she is going in too many directions - as she passes from figurative work to abstraction. However she always seems animated by an inside eye (inner self) paying attention to the continuing line that she follows as well as the secret part of it. Her work is also very adventurous, even though she has always been aware of the many movements in paintings, in her quests and emotional searches : departure in 1980 to America, San Francisco, the loved city, and the discovery of a creative identity; going to the spiritual origins of her mother’s family on the Mauritius Island… the ebb and flow of the sea and the sun. She draws her own canvas – as Francis Ponce wrote about it, adventure itself as in “Alice in Wonderland” with the smile of the cat, but without the cat, towards a universe where the materiality of the world slowly disappears to come back strongly and with many colors to remind us of our delicate presence in this world”. Jacqueline Delaunay-Hologne, Art Critic, art photograph and specialist of Brancusi – January 2005
