Life is like riding a bicycle, you have to keep going so you don't lose your balance.

Nathalie was born in Annecy into an artistic family and flourished in an environment conducive to creativity, devoting herself fully to her passion for both music and drawing from a very early age. Her appetite for the practice of the arts led her first to Chambéry to study graphic arts for advertising, then to Avignon and Reims where she trained in set painting, before completing her training at the School of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy. This painter, rounded and enthusiastic in equal measure, is now back in Haute-Savoie and divides her time between developing her own artwork, teaching and leading numerous workshops throughout France as an ambassador and technician of products traditionally used in fine arts. Nathalie's portraits are energetic and majestic and easily combine varied techniques to achieve a resolutely contemporary result, which has its place somewhere between pop art and street art aesthetics.

For several years now, Nathalie has centred her pictorial research on the role of colour, which she likes to associate with various personal and powerful messages. The artist usually starts with a sketch which she has previously made on paper, and selects her medium according to the subject she wishes to depict. Thus, with the help of her acrylics and inks, which she applies either with a brush or a knife, the painter endeavours to immortalize the celebrities who inspire her with their commitment and their art, such as the American painter Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988), the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) or the musician Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970).
