Beyond her unusual artistic path, Natalie Vassil has continually questioned what defines us and what keeps us from truly encountering one another.
Coming from a bicultural family that frequently relocated, the artist felt for larger part of her life uprooted.
After a financial career in New York, Natalie Vassil embarked on her own personal pilgrimage through her writings and paintings.
Over time, she has attempted to explore the journeys that shape our worlds, both through the multiple steps of the small figures on the canvas and those of her own travels that made her question the profound meaning of community and of "being together." At that junction, connection and transmission took on an entirely new meaning in her art, through what she refers to as « our shared trajectories ». At the heart of these communities true wealth is measured in time spend together and shared experiences.
Following the loss of a loved one, the artist turned her thoughts toward our freedoms and divided spaces—not as an end, but as an ongoing thread between generations. The infinite found its way into her journey through shared memories.
Her multiple figures both as symbols of evolution and of our connection to time. Their dotted lines evoke the power of ancestral art, drawing from hidden symbols where the past meets the present, blending with our contemporary world.
This weaving as a bridge and a reminder of what binds us all together.
