Barcelona, Spain

Nicole is a ceramic artist based near Barcelona, with a background in visual communication that continues to shape her approach to form, color and composition. Drawn to clay for its tactile and expressive qualities, she moved into ceramics to explore a more intuitive, hands-on way of creating.

Her work is characterized by bold colors, strong contrasts, and organic shapes, often inspired by everyday objects, architectural details, and the vibrancy of Mediterranean life. A defining development in her practice is her series of sculptural vases with multiple openings named Hydra that explore rhythm, balance and the relationship between function and sculpture.

Working under the name niho, she creates both functional and sculptural pieces, from tableware to vases and lamps, often in dialogue with interior spaces. Her brand is rooted in craftsmanship, experimentation and a desire to create objects that bring character, curiosity and a sense of play into everyday life.
