Meet Nathalie Ayesha Tappin, a creative talent from Barbados, raised in Rotterdam. Her passion for art was sparked by her mother, who ran a gallery.
Nathalie studied Creative Communication in Rotterdam, followed a short period at the Rietveld Academy and obtained her diploma in Graphic Design at MK24 in Amsterdam. After experience in advertising, she decided to become a full-time artist.
Her work ranges from acrylic and watercolor to unconventional materials such as old magazines and worn jeans. She draws inspiration from unexpected sources, with colors as a central element in her process.
Iconic faces and powerful texts form the core of her art, which reflects her inner world. Nathalie describes her work as colorful, playful and authentic, with an intuitive approach where she sees herself as an observer in the creative process. Her pieces invite viewers to connect in their own way.
