The Nanas series was born in 1964, inspired by the pregnancy of her friend Clarice Rivers. Niki de Saint Phalle imagined female figures with blossoming, dancing, colorful forms: free, joyful, powerful women. These exuberant sculptures embody femininity in all its diversity, breaking with traditional representations of the female body.
But behind this explosion of color and vitality lies a profound rebellion. Through her Nanas, the artist is not simply seeking to celebrate women. It's a political act, a gesture of refusal in the face of the norms of a society dominated by rationality, science and male power. In her autobiography Traces, she puts it bluntly:
"A woman in the civilization of men is like a negro in the civilization of whites. She has the right to refuse, to revolt. The bloody banner is raised."
Niki de Saint Phalle questions the way bodies are viewed, demands the freedom to exist outside imposed frameworks, denounces systems of exclusion. Her art is a political gesture, an invitation to think differently about the body, gender and social norms. Nana Power becomes a symbol of feminine strength, joyful and rebellious.

Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle’s art is eclectic and complicated, brave and outspoken. It reveals the unbridled ruminations and opinions of her multifaceted past and transforms them into celebrations of love, life and pure happiness. This transformation reminds us that her work does not simply stand alone, it becomes part of a larger dialogue she created for us to enjoy.
A self-taught sculptor, painter and filmmaker, Saint Phalle made a mark on art history that continues to have an extraordinary dimension. Her work is represented in numerous museums and public collections around the world. In 2000, she received the Praemium Imperiale in Japan, the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for the art world. In 2014, the Grand Palais in Paris exhibited a major restropective of her work that traveled to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, where it currently resides. Saint Phalle died at the age of 71 in La Jolla, California, in 2002.
