Inspiration (2018) Painting by Nina (Nadine Pillet)

"My painting is entirely based on human emotions, which have always fascinated me. Most are portraits, conveying feelings captured in their daily evolution, as well as the symbolism of human emotions such as inner peace, the search for harmony, and love.

The works are painted with carbon powder, sometimes with a little pastel powder to emphasize an aspect, other times with a background base of acrylic paint or watercolor before working with carbon.

The result is similar to a black-and-white photograph with heightened human sensuality, or an impression of an old painting or statue, depending on the painting. This subtle technique is unknown in the West, where it arouses great interest. In creating a painting, the most important thing for me is the emotions I create, which, in turn, will resonate in the viewer's personal mind." Touching the viewer's soul and heart is my ultimate goal."

Nina has exhibited regularly since 2015 in several galleries, both alone and with other artists. She has exhibited internationally since 2017 in renowned galleries such as MAD Gallery in Milan, PAKS Gallery & MAMAG Modern Art Museum, and at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, where she received the "Sensitive Emotional Mood" award. She will be exhibiting with PAKS and MAMAG at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris during the FIAC in October 2018. She regularly receives invitations to exhibit at art fairs such as New York, Miami, and San Diego.
