Carole Nataf is an exciting emerging French artist with national exposure. Her paintings explore the power and delicacy of reflexive light: reflections at the surface of the water, on glass, metal and gold, in eyes, on skin or hair. Her work features the representation of contrasting textures by associating soft and harsh elements, delicate and blunt brushstrokes. The representation of various materials such as textiles, metal, glass, paper and skin often meet on her canvas.
