Sublimer la matiere
Je cherche, j’expérimente, je joue avec les matières et les formes, avec les couleurs, et avant tout j’aime m’aventurer sur des chemins inexplorés et inattendus. J’aime être surprise par le résultat du travail, notamment quand des matériaux naturels ou recyclés viennent enrichir une composition très contemporaine et assouvir ainsi ma soif inaltérable de beauté.
The fragments, or tesserae, I assemble are like scattered pieces of history, which I fit together to form one component of a larger work, revealing meaning and harmony.
Trouvant mon inspiration dans la nature, j’ai ouvert une voie nouvelle et fascinante en détournant des matières de leur origine, en particulier la coquille d’œuf, pour développer une série de compositions aux « skin effects” » sublimés et en perpétuel mouvement aux jeux de la lumière.
Je propose des compositions uniques sous forme de panneaux muraux, revêtements (paravents, meubles), sculptures et tableaux.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
1er prix SEMA (Sté d’Encouragement des Métiers d’Art) pour la création contemporaine en 2009, Nathalie Chaulaic lives and works in Haute-Garonne, southwest France
Référencée dans le guide Homofaber qui regroupe les métiers d’art d’excellence et membre des Ateliers d’Art de France, Nathalie Chaulaic has that singular talent for placing mosaic in a modern context and within contemporary artistic practice.
Like an artist who produces a painting through successive brush strokes or a sculptor who kneads, shapes, chisels and molds the clay, Nathalie Chaulaic needs to have that raw relationship with the material, to undo to redo, to repeat the same self-assured gesture of positioning each tessera in its just place, right until that single perceptible moment when she knows her work is definitively complete.
Through her long creative process, guided by her natural gift for fusing mineral and organic materials in unexpected ways, Nathalie exhibits a patience and inner strength for revealing beauty, harmony; a finesse so rare that it is never expressed at first glance but finds its strength in the details of the work.
One of life’s observers, a person who is nourished by her eclectic sensibility, Nathalie Chaulaic follows an uncommon path and, through the curves, reflections, deflections, separations and variations in her work, she opens a window into our innermost feelings and emotions, like an inescapable force that only amplifies our perception.
Her works command our attention and reflect back to us pieces of our own lives, in her own subtle and graceful way. I cannot wait to see what surprises this artist has in store for us. One to keep an eye on.
