ABOUT THE ARTIST

I am Nathalie Gribinski, a French-American artist based in Chicago. My work is driven by intuition, movement, and a deep love of color. Using oil markers and acrylics, I create playful, rhythmic worlds where figures, animals, and symbols dance freely. Inspired by music, nature, and inner emotion, my paintings celebrate joy, connection, and the poetry of life in constant motion.

ARTWORK STORY

This work is constructed through automatic, continuous line drawing, assembling a dense, vertical field of hybrid figures that resemble an animated aquarium of human, animal, and plant forms. Influenced by Surrealist automatism, Miró’s playful biomorphism, and narrative folk imagery, the composition reads as a visual procession. Bold, contrasting colors activate each figure individually while maintaining a rhythmic flow, suggesting coexistence and transformation.
