Nell Maillebiau is a Dutch figurative and impressionist painter residing in the Pays Basque region of Southwest France. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, vibrant communities, and diverse wildlife, she finds inspiration in her environment. The interplay of colors in the mountains and valleys, the interaction with the people, and the grace of the local animals ignite her creativity, compelling her to translate these experiences into her artwork. The human being is one of her favourite subjects. When Nell paints a portrait, she loves the interaction between her and the person of whom she captures the personality in her painting.

Each day offers new beauty, and Nell never tires of exploring the narratives that emerge from it.
