Hélène Nué was born in Martignas sur Jalles. From her native Bordeaux soil, where vines of the greatest wines quiver on hillsides, she has inherited the sweetness. From the nearby ocean, she has drawn an inner strength emerging up of her burin vigour.
      Choosing engraving, she enters "La Main d'Or" studio in Paris. From the burin to the dry point, not forgetting etching, Hélène Nué with an expert hand, sometimes caresses the copperplate, or energetically cuts it, having emotion risen from those few microns of removed or left substance, letting ink settle according to the slimness of carving, thus giving the light greys and deep blacks characteristic of this discipline.
      In front of her creation, filled with contained sensibility, one wavers between admiring her perfect technique or the enchantment radiating from it. A delicate artist, following the tradition of great Renaissance Masters such as Dürer and Rembrandt, Hélène Nué realized numerous ex-libris.
     Exhibitions in France and abroad contributed to having her work known. Hélène Nué also illustrated Art books, particularly for the Editions Carrés d'Art: "La Bonne Chanson" by Verlaine, "Poésies" by Arthur Rimbaud, "Torchères" by Hervé Bazin and "Enamels and cameos" by Théophile Gautier.
