Nicole S. Pousset

Working under the name Nicole S. Pousset, Nicole Schellekens is a Belgian painter with a background in graphic design and is based in Antwerp. Her work is defined by expressive, loose brushwork that blends figuration with suggestion, often depicting people in motion and shaped by subtle contrasts of light and shadow. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Rembrandt and Rubens, she pursues simplicity and emotional nuance in her paintings. Schellekens’s work is held in private and public collections and is represented by several galleries in Belgium and internationally. In 2024, Ariadne at Home described her paintings as “Little moments of happiness on large canvases.”
