Viviane Nicaise (born 1952, Tournai), is a Belgian bande dessinée cartoonist and colorist.

Early life and education

Viviane Nicaise was born in Tournai in 1952.[1] She studied social sciences at the Institut Supérieur des hautes études sociales de l'État in Brussels and spent fifteen years working in an aftercare home for mentally ill young adults as a social worker, while giving dance and tap dancing lessons in various schools in Belgium.[1]

At the age of 37, Nicaise discovered the pleasure of drawing as a complete autodidact and participated in a comic strip contest. She then enrolled in evening classes at the academy of Saint-Gilles and finally at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels where she lives.[1]

Career

With Jean Dufaux in the scenario, she drew the fantasy series Sang-De-Lune in 6 albums with Glénat Editions in the collection "Grafica" from 1992 to 1996.[1] Then, she joined the scriptwriter, Dieter and launched the series Loranne. She also reconstructed the lost America of the 1960s, with the same publisher in the same collection (3 albums, 1998–2000). Continuing with Dieter as scriptwriter, Nicaise developed the thriller 6 jours et mourir in two albums published the same year in 2001 for the collection "Bulle noire".[2]

La Vie en rose[1] is a detective story by Dieter (scriptwriter) and Nicaise,[3] in three volumes, published by Glénat in the collection "Bulle noire" from 2003 to 2004. Nicaise promoted scientific training in an educational comic strip, Objectif sciences for the Île-de-France region in 2007. She turned to the fantasy genre for the diptych Post Mortem scripted by Romuald Pistis in the collection "HZ-Horizon" at Joker Éditions (2009-2010). For the collection "Grand Angle" of Bamboo Édition, Nicaise drew a new diptych, Le Cahier à fleurs, scripted by Laurent Galandon which described the Armenian genocide through the view of young orphans in 2010 and 2011. In an interview with Jean-Jacques Procureur, Nicaise declared that she had lived in Greece and was still there in December 2011.[4]

Her next interest, Une tragédie grecque, was a sentimental unraveling and the saga of Aristotle Onassis with a scenario by Jean-Claude Bartoll in two albums with the same publisher (2012–13). She returned to educational comics with two publications at Bardet Souchard in the collection "Narratives" dated March 2013. For Deadpool, she participated in a comic book at Hachette in 2019. At the same time, Nicaise exercised her talents as a colorist for Jacky Goupil in Le Guide junior de la rigolade with Vents d'Ouest Éditions in 2012 as well as for the series Scènes de ménage by Jif and Éric Miller with Éditions Jungle for volumes 2 and 4 from 2012 to 2013.[5]
