"You Gave Your Breath To The wind"
by Nathalie El Baba
Welcome to a beautiful and captivating exhibition featuring the exquisite works of one of our favorite artist. We have been fans of Nathalie El Baba's work for a long time and this brand new offering only reinforces our admiration.
“You Gave Your Breath to the Wind” is a deeply personal body of work created in response to the grief of losing her father.
Through a series of oil and acrylic paintings, as well as wood-mounted prints, Nathalie El Baba explores the raw emotions tied to loss, memory, and the inevitable return to the elements.
The work touches on universal themes of life and death, offering viewers an opportunity to reflect on their own experiences with bereavement and the cyclical nature of existence.
About the exhibition, Nathalie says:
“What do you see? I am firstly an observer, and this is always the beginning of my process.
The taking up of space, the shift in movement, the transformation through light, these elements invite me to engage with them. As I work, I consider the human story and its relationship to my subject matter. For me, there is always a relationship, and it is that that I seek out.
What do I want to say with my art? Look for the connection, feel it, be part of it. Witness our shared stories, our humanity”.
Nathalie's artistic practice focuses on creating connections through the human experience, with works that engage physical, and emotional landscapes. The pieces in this exhibition reflect Nathalie's contemplative and expressive style, marked by loose, gestural marks and atmospheric compositions that capture both the ephemeral fragility and resilience of life.
