About Nathalie

A Trademark Mixed Media Technique

"My original fine art painting combines different media including collage and hand-painted additions with acrylic paints. The versatility offered by acrylic paints is stunning. Acrylics can be applied in thin layers to create effects of glazing and also be used to build thick layers to create paintings with sculptural relief features. I use a mixture of acrylic resin and mineral powders with vibrant pigments to enhance the beauty of the architecture and pop up every little detail on the shophouse's façade."

N'Nel is simply NL for Nathalie Laoué

Born near Cognac, in France, Nathalie began to paint when she moved to Singapore in 2002.
Nathalie is a self-taught artist. Although her original training was more focused on physical measurement and industrial design, her passion and talent are expressed through painting and photography.
Nathalie's technique is rather unusual. She creates images on canvas, using brushes and knives, acrylic or oil colours, but also resin, photographs, inlaid mineral powders and pigments, which produce a quite unique effect of depth and demarcation. Nathalie loves the striking play of light and vibrant colours, the powerful contrast against the outline of the shadows and silhouettes.

Her latest work is exploring Singaporean heritage and culture through the quaint charm of Peranakan architecture, along with the cutting-edge infrastructure of the new Singapore.

Her work has been exhibited in several art fairs in France and Singapore.
