Nicolas Maas

As the granddaughter of a well-known artist in the Lower Rhine region, she was born with creativity and technical skill. As a child, she spent a lot of time with her grandparents. Weaving and painting with her grandfather Helmut, and cooking with her grandmother Anni, were the best pastimes in those days.
As she grew older, her interests shifted towards technology, and she chose to pursue technical training. For a long time, broken machines that emitted whistles and blinked were her passion, but over time her perspective changed, and she began developing creative projects. During a difficult time in her life, she discovered forging. Here, she could develop her full potential, both creative and technical.
Nicolas spends time in Formentera, where he met Sol Courreges, who invited him to participate in some of her projects, such as Stop Global Warming (2021) and STOP! The Last of Its Kind (2022), both of which were exhibited at the Centre Tur Gabrielet in Formentera.
The Elephant was created for this last exhibition.
