Medium: Pastel.
Subjects: Figurative; Landscape.
Style: Representational. Of her paintings of
children, fellow pastellist Christine Narbonne has this to say: Là, je suis
tombé amoureux des portraits que Nadia interprète à sa manière… Tout est
dans le regard de ces petits enfants : Tantôt tristes, tantôt rêveurs ou
aux aguets. Les expressions de leurs visages sont si vivantes,
figées dans un moment crucial. De plus, on lit leurs interrogations, ils
nous interpellent en nous fixant de leurs yeux vifs. Comment ne
pas tendre la main vers ces mômes qui nous regardent, comment rester de
marbre devant ces véritables instantanés de reporters ! C’est
beau, irrésistible.
