Aubert Nawel | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

With a striking style that blends expressiveness and gentleness, Nawel's art is above all an intense, silent exchange between the artist, her work and her public. Working mainly in oils, on portraits or still lifes, she likes to concentrate on her main subject, in close-up, and leave her backgrounds abstract. This more instinctive, unstructured atmosphere enhances her more figurative model. It's also this tighter frame that captures her emotions, as much as our gaze. The colors, too, are deep and contribute to the story. Her inspirations include Caravaggio and Chardin for their drama, Basquiat and Schiele for their harsh strokes, and Monet and Klimt for their lyricism. Dreamy and optimistic, Nawel's paintings invite us into an intimate dialogue, as much with her canvases as with ourselves.
