Nathalie MOULINET

FINE ART - Painter & Sculptor

SHAPING (WO)MEN FREEDOM

A native of France, deeply enamored with the vibrant energy of Miami, Nathalie MOULINET's artistic journey spans over a decade of immersive education at the 'Ateliers des Beaux-Arts' in both Normandy and Paris. 

Driven by boundless creativity, she honed her skills in specialized master classes and under the mentorship of the distinguished French painter, Jacques Deshaies, a visionary artist whose palette echoes the hues of nature. 

Nathalie's artistry transcends disciplines, encompassing a diverse range of mediums and techniques: from the precise strokes of drawing and the ethereal hues of watercolor to the bold textures of acrylics, the timeless richness of oils, and the tactile allure of clay and wax modeling. Her repertoire extends to bronze casting, enamelwork, stone sculpture, stained glass, epoxy resin, mono-printing, and collage. Her unquenchable thirst for innovation drives her to constantly seek fresh avenues of artistic expression. 

Through her art, she channels her emotions, seamlessly blending vigor with delicacy. Her portraits serve as vibrant symbols of contemporary women's empowerment and emancipation, daring to challenge societal norms that seek to subdue, stigmatize, or impede women from realizing their fullest potential. Nathalie's approach is refreshingly straightforward. Instead of weaving complex narratives, she allows her sensitivity to be the compass that guides her, amplifying the unique essence of people and objects. 

For her, painting and sculpture are harmonious endeavors: whether shaping forms from clay or applying brushstrokes and stencils, each action converges towards a singular artistic vision. 

"Shaping or painting a body is akin to narrating a tale. "

    Format ranging from 11 x 14 in to 24 x 36 in | from 28 x 36 cm to 61 x 91 cm.

  • Bronze

    The realization of these bronzes goes through a modeling of a wax sculpture. A mold is made with a metal frame and a clay-based shell. The liquid bronze is poured into the mold, chasing away the melted wax and taking its place. After a long polishing work, the bronze shine
    appears: the sculpture is born... magical moment.

  • Acrylic Painting

    Original artwork.

  • Epoxy Resin Sculpture

    Based on her own bronze sculptures, a silicon mold is created to produce a serie of translucent and colorful sculptures. (Aqua ladyes series).

  • And many more techniques to explore

    Among these techniques, she would like to explore street art spray painting, (wet) cyanotype, welding sculpture, encaustic, engraving, pendulum painting... and digital creation, of course.
