S12 E2 - Nicole Meeuws on Her Near-Death Experience and How It Changed Her Approach to Life and Art
Nicole Meeuws is an abstract artist, writer, and intuitive visionary whose work explores consciousness, energy, and the unseen. In 2015, Nicole died during a medical procedure and experienced what she describes as a profound encounter with radiant light, peace, and clarity. The experience transformed her perspective on life, leading her to see reality as vibrational, sacred, and deeply interconnected.
Nicole’s artwork translates energy, emotion, and frequency into abstract forms through intuitive painting. Working primarily with acrylics on canvas, linen, and wood, she builds her pieces dot by dot and frequency by frequency, sometimes using her hands and natural tools alongside traditional brushes. Her Soul Frequency Paintings are intuitive portraits created through energetic readings, serving as personal “sacred mirrors” for people around the world.
