Nathalie Pruneau

My artistic approach can be defined in an artistic space of the in-between.
Between two major recurring topics: the body and its decor are declined between two main supports, the paper and the canvas.
Between two plastic practices: drawing and painting. To draw is to look precisely and understand, it’s to take a moving look at the beauty of living things.

Independent graphic designer, graduated from Ensad Paris, I have developed an independent graphic design activity in an agency, intermittently since 1996, specializing in editorial and institutional design in the social and artistic fields.
A personal research of plastic art, drawing and painting, underlies my professional activity of graphic and textile design. The body and nature are the recurring subjects in my experiments.
Between two anchorages to reality: photography and the living model.
The work of representation is elaborated between the visual memory of experience, photography, a still image, and observation of the concentrated reality from the living.
Between the real and the dream: rely on the study of real material and objective to better transform it into a personal imaginary.
