ABOUT THE ARTIST
Nathanya is an abstract painter. Her studio is located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Through her intuitive art practice, Nathanya has learned to embrace imperfection and accept things as they are. Guided by feelings rather than formula, she layers vibrant colours and expressive mark-making, allowing each gesture to inform the next. Her work evolves organically, reflecting a process of presence, trust and discovery.
Deeply inspired by nature, Nathanya draws on the shapes and rhythms of the world around her- mountains, clouds, trees and leaves. The interplay of shadow and light, the changing sky and ever present ocean near her home are recurring influences. The water’s calm, healing energy finds it’s way into her work, offering a sense of quiet and peace.
Her Paintings are also infused with personal memories: the magic of childhood summers spent with her grandparents, flying with her grandfather and swimming under the sun. These moments-full of wonder, joy, and simplicity-continue to shape her creative voice.
Nathanya’s intention is to create work that uplifts and inspires, inviting a sense of connection between herself and the viewer. Through colour, memory, and emotion, she hopes to offer a visual space where others can pause, reflect, and feel something real.
Through her art practice, she has learned to accept the imperfect and embrace what is. Working intuitively she uses colour and marks to create layers, each decision informing the next. Intuitively making a mess, and then finding the beauty in the chaos, her work invites you to look deeper and find the details within.Her intention is to create artwork that is inspiring and up lifting, creating a connection between herself and others.
