“ Meules fin juillet ” © Nathalie Azmi
|
Name: Nathalie Azmi
Bio:
French artist Nathalie Azmi has been
painting with pastels for many years. While she first painted with acrylic,
watercolor and digital media, the need to paint the landscapes around her had her seek out a medium that gives her both
a physical, subtle contact with the material, and the rapid response necessary
to express her feelings on the support. Her paintings are an emotional
response to the landscape. Influenced by the impressionist school, she seeks a more personal expression of the essential, where less is more.
Nathalie
is primarily self-taught, although she has taken a workshop with Sophie
Amauger, Master Pastellist of the French
Pastel Society. She has participated in
group exhibitions, most recently at St Gelais, near Niort, at the Salon
Françoise d'Aubigné, and at salon Terre de sienne, La Ferrière, where she was guest artist. She had a recent solo show of her landscapes
at the town hall, Venansault, and at the Côté sud Expo, La Roche-sur-Yon
in collaboration with the Arts Pluriels Association. Her awards include 1st
prize in the Garden Painters of Loriot, Venansault, and had three paintings
among the finalists of the 2012 ASPAS (Spanish Pastel Society) online exhibition.
Nathalie Azmi lives in the Atlantic coastal Vendée region of
France.
