About this artwork
A human-like figure—its contours smooth and softened—set against an expressionistic background evoking the textures of a forest canopy or rippling water.
Through a careful balancing of form and field, Pitout materializes a concept both intimate and expansive: nature as self, and self as nature.
The title, a portmanteau of nature and âme (French for… “soul”), hints at the deeper philosophical underpinning of the work. This is not a direct landscape painting, nor is it a simple figure study. Instead, it proposes a visual merging of natural and internal states, where the boundaries between person and environment dissolve. The figure appears as a kind of totemic spirit—head bowed, posture curved inward—as though suspended in reverence or reflection

« My work captures abstraction, surrealism and the unpredictable. I trace the paths taken by my subjects throughout the creative process. Each work is unique. Each work, a new destination. »
Drawing from his childhood in Durban, South Africa and a background in industrial art and design, he creates paintings that balance structured forms with surrealist gestures.
His multidisciplinary practice spans oil painting, embroidery, and conceptual research, often exploring themes of light, vibration, and transformation. Pitout has participated in several art residencies in France and abroad, using these immersive experiences to deepen his artistic inquiry and expand his visual language.
For him, the creative process is a return to inner roots—a space for reflection, reconnection, and the evolution of artistic consciousness.
