About me
Short Bio | Nicole Sciberras Debono is a visual artist whose practice is engaged with exploring the nuances of the contemporary human condition. Her work navigates the intersections of digital and tangible realities, employing figurative narratives that delve into modern experiences shaped by virtual personas and digital realms. Nicole’s compositions transcend mere depiction, reflecting the vitality of life and the ordinary artefacts that accompany our existence.
She employs a variety of mediums including painting, drawing, and digital media, and explores surfaces ranging from linoleum to wood and cotton. A recent project saw Nicole merging sound with digital visuals in an installation featuring sculptural work, further blurring the lines between artistic disciplines. This piece, part of her ongoing exploration of dualities, particularly emphasises the juxtaposition between the digital and physical realms, as well as the historical and contemporary. Inspired by Carl Jung’s Book of Symbols, she is captivated by the symbolic convergence of our physical and virtual realities. |
