2023 Transparent WORLDS ® 145 x 75 cm

Transparency and Movement are the Materials of my Heart.
With light and its effects, I take my audience into the worlds of fantasy, the foreign and the past. Worlds in which time seems to have stood still and in which everything is nebulously transfigured, and I create memorabilia painted with light – Transparent Worlds ®.
My performances are created in the moment, for a specific space. They are based on the methods of contemporary dance – contemporary art and improvisational dance. With the help of film editing, the snapshots become atmospheric performative video installations, which in turn are presented in suitable locations.
Snapshots of the movements are captured and painted and staged on glass. Personal works of art of one’s own history in history are created.
My planographic printing process combines digital imagery with painterly processes and is reminiscent of the first photographic plates on glass. Space and time influence color and form. The impression is created from the light. In 2024, my artistic techniques were added to the European Trademark Register.
The artwork News of New York was created in the CYCLE 2021 – 2023
From New Year’s Eve 2021 to September 2023, numerous participatory performances were created with the residents of Marnay-sur-Seine in France and Germany, which became the basis for the film “”Life? It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”” and numerous light paintings.
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Élysée Treaty, I organized the interdisciplinary art festival “”A beautiful day or maybe a night?”” 2023 in the greenhouses of Ludwigslust Castle, Germany. The title of the festival is based on the friendship with the artist community in France since 2013 (see below).
News of New York shows Nicoe Domec and Andi Mackenzie in the studio of Nicole’s father, the painter Claude Domec. The performance is intended to represent the father’s legacy, Nicole as a painter of the Seine. Mackenzie, portrayed as a priest, reads the New York Timesfrom 2019. The year in which I presented my first live performance in France and the birthplace of my daughter. The times blend into a poetic, improvised visual statement At the Festival of Lights in August 2024 in the Botanical Garden of Marnay-sur-Seine, models and works of art came together. The circle of the artistic process closed from creation to presentation; the participants were able to experience the process live. A second small festival presented film, live performance and glass pictures – this time in France.
The film won the Best Experimental Film category at the New York Movie Awards and
International Gold Award in November 2024.”
