“The symbolic universe of Nathalie Straseele”
C. Guionnet, 2014, La Gazette des Arts
“…Like an archaeologist, Nathalie Straseele explores the human, its dimension, its truth. His work is an exercise imbued with research and spirituality, that only his instinct can dictate in complete harmony. Mixing warm colors or cold, his palette is identified with the psychology of his characters, including
the sometimes unfinished aspect – while leaving us speechless – encourages us to reflect on the future of our humanity, its aspirations, and hope…”
I feel the buried deep feelings, afflictions and aspirations.
I experience emotions and sensations with intensity, I am one of the hypersensitive people.
My gaze goes far and ignores borders. My inspiration is very playful. I make connections.
I feel like a passenger in the in-between and the invisible.
My painting, in freeze frame, is expressionist and dreamlike.
Engine, tool, and resource: even as a child I had this pleasure in drawing, writing and inventing stories.
The maieutic and transformative power of art and writing, for those who are interested in it, no longer needs to be proven.
Witness to my human experience, beyond my very dense feminine journey, I carry the fragile balance of a quest and an inner reconquest.
