Trois Petits Arbres/ Three Little Trees Painting

Nathalie Tousnakhoff has been drawing and painting since childhood. After studying drawing and painting at the École Martenot and then at the Beaux-Arts de Rennes, she graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris in 1991. She works «in the old way», in glazes on wood panels, drawing her inspiration from the Flemish Primitives and the Italian Renaissance, but also from more recent Scandinavian painting. Her paintings are an invitation to calm, to celebrate interiority and to contemplate nature, in all its beauty and strangeness. Besides, she practices calligraphy and engraving, and teaches engraving at the Atelier de la Main gauche in Toulouse. She regularly exhibits in France and abroad. Her works are in private collections in France, Switzerland and Luxembourg.
