Amnon Barzel on Nili Kook, Rome, 1999: ...The possibility of listening to [the visual echoes of] Nili Kook's sculptures reveals a concentrated silence that stores tensions within it: tensions which form an arch in the marble, smoothen feminine curves, create a slight distortion in the figure that acquires a metallic patina.  And within this concentration, Nili Kook attempts to create in a material that has no given form emotions and concepts that have no configuration.   With an impulse as old as human civilization, to recreate that which does not exist: a figure in stone, a body in clay or wax, cast in bronze, faces with a gaze in their eyes that does not fade away. 

Joseph Agassi on Nili Kook: Nili Kook was educated in a few countries and absorbed diverse cultures and a delicate artistic taste.  Her artistic output reflects not a uniform style but the breadth of a rich cultural background expressed in a specific attitude towards her medium.

The artwork of Nili Kook is in collections around the world.
