Unlike a classic portrait, I do not seek to flatter the appearance, I seek to strip the body of artifice to reach the deep nature of the human being, its failings and its doubts. To do this, the lines are deliberately distorted, emphasized or diffused, the viewer must be touched immediately, at first glance, this painting must be obvious.
Unlike a classic portrait, I do not seek to flatter the appearance, I seek to strip the body of artifice to reach the deep nature of the human being, its failings and its doubts.
To do this, the lines are deliberately distorted, emphasized or diffused, the viewer must be touched immediately, at first glance, this painting must be obvious.

"Divine" Half icon, half gargoyle, this work is timeless, it uses almost all the codes of art, the fading of colors, the repetition of lines, the hidden messages.
The character ignores us completely and yet the spreading of his fingers means that he sees us.
Once at home, this work, whose appearance changes in the dark, will captivate you without ever disturbing you. This painting is hypnotic. IF you are an art lover this will be one of your greatest purchases.

Aware that for many of you this is a favorite, but also an investment in time:
- This painting is made on high-end acid-free, French-made paper.
- The pastels used are composed of high quality pigments, which gives you certain durability of the work over time.
- The work is signed on the front and back.
- You will receive a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist attesting that it is an original and a unique work.
- The work is shipped carefully protected and insured, with a premium carrier.
- A tracking number will be provided to you so that you can track the package in real time.

Contrary to the way traditional portraits are made, I am not trying here to draw a flattering image of the subject. What I mean to highlight is the need for the body to be rid of its artifices. This is the only manner for the true and deep nature of human beings to be revealed with their shortcomings and inner doubts.
In order to convey this impression to the viewer, I deliberately drew strong, deformed and erratic-looking features. Consequently, this painting should be viewed as an evidence.
Divine is half an icon, half a gargoyle.
This timeless art-piece resorts to the whole range of Art codes, including the blending of colors, the repeated lines, not to forget the hidden messages.
Apparently the character is completely ignoring you. However, the fact that her fingers are spread out, suggests that she can see us.

Once this artwork will be hung on your wall, you will find out that when the light is dimmed, it really looks quite different.
This is indeed a hypnotic picture.
If you are an Art lover, this artwork will be one of your most beautiful and mesmerizing acquisitions.

Nathalie JAGUIN began a professional career as a portrait painter on the spot and on commission in 2003. After about ten years of this activity and 6000 portraits sold, she decided to leave academic drawing by abolishing the contours.

She invented her technique "Millefiori" which she describes in her book "oil painting, painting without sketches" released in 2019 which is sold in France, as well as in bookstores, New York (Librairie Albertine), Canadian (Librairie Archambault) and all over the world. These paintings are composed like a symphony, each touch of color is a note that must agree with the others to compose a harmony, it sometimes gives birth to a landscape, a portrait, or a still life, paintings full of colors and good humor.

She uses the impasto technique to paint subjects free of any outline.

Every millimeter of her work is colored and worked to make it an object, both precious and complex. She draws inspiration from landscapes sometimes painted outdoors, still lifes and scenes of life, to extract their richness, power and beauty.

Active on social networks, her Youtube channel now has a million views.

She has been recognized and rewarded several times in national and international competitions and obtained the silver medal Arts sciences and Letters in 2024.

She is supported in her work by the trust of her clients, her works can now be found among collectors in Germany, Russia, Taiwan as well as French collectors. Her painting "Pink Light 7" has joined the permanent collection of Dimitris Copelouzos in Athens, Greece
It is now in his collection with 140 renowned French artists.
Mr. Copelouzos holds works by artists such as Warhol, Botero, Dubuffet, Kounellis, Wesselmann, Boetti, Gilbert & George, Indiana, Kippenberger, Hirst, Zhang Xiaogang, Kusama...

Two of his works “Remue méninges” have joined the permanent collection of the MOBA museum, Boston, Massachusetts, United States. In September 2024, one of them will go to the new MOBA in Quebec.
