originally from France, grew up in a creative environment and began her own personal involvement in the arts at an early age. In the foreground she practiced many different artistic techniques, but in the background she continued to develop drawing and painting. She was not specifically drawn to this area until she was 23. Whereas she felt limited in other artistic modalities, painting constantly opened new horizons. she envisioned painting as a transparent layering of pure colors, yet she had no technique. The door opener for her was Pic (Alain Pichereau). They worked together on diverse projects using Photorealistic technique. She became a commissioned painter. Various phases of her life brought her to Hong Kong where she stopped her commercial work and started to develop her own true technique to fulfill her vision of transparencies. The two-dimensional spiral is one of the most ancient symbols for eternity. The double spiral shows the continuity between polarities and is the alternate evolutions and involution. In her method this finds expression through the application of layers of pure colors, the 7 colors of the rainbow, succeeding one on the other: from blue to red (evolution) then from red to blue (involution). Thus each painting contains 14 layers. Colors work between them in harmony through transparency. One of the joys of a conversation with Nadia is the intensity of her eyes, the always present Camel cigarette (unfiltered of course) and the absolute joy one experiences when she explains how Meher Baba has guided her art.
