Natalie Vassil
Prélude au Rêve
2018

About the Item

Visual arts and the history of art have always been integral to Natalie Vassil’s life, whether while attending school in Europe or studying in the United States. However, she somehow ended up working in international finance, a career so close and yet so far from her painting today! Using a mixed technique on canvas she paints chains of people, portrayed by little white consecutive figures, tirelessly roaming across complex universes, spaces and systems… Natalie Vassil seeks to portray otherness, self-awareness and awareness of others. A self that is not “my” self but that nevertheless purports to be like me - an alter ego, another self and at the same time a person other than oneself. Natalie Vassil produces humanist art exploring connections that unite far beyond any kind of boundary. On her canvases she creates a variety of worlds, both internal and external, from the smallest to the biggest that she presents in infinite forms. Her characters are all fragments of a shared consciousness to which they belong. They follow their paths of destiny at a seemingly endless pace like a continuous dance. Natalie Vassil uses a mixed technique incorporating pigments that she has brought back from her travels. She likes to harness the journey of the material on her canvases, imagining that it harbors a memory of "elsewhere". This pathway enables her characters, with their unique feelings, to take part in a shared trajectory, mirroring each other. In this flow, they learn to see each other and to understand that they all share the same joy, pain and happiness, to attain a universal consciousness that is common to all. Natalie’s canvases project crossings or voyages connecting the intimate and the universal through their perceptual lines. These human pathways bring together autonomous, adjacent individuals, identical-looking white figures that mirror each other. The units within this human chain carve liberated paths where all routes are plausible. Teeming with endless, cyclical and brightly colored movements, the open space binds each and every individual to destiny, free will and any alternatives, a place for introspection and to delve deep within the essence of the world. The material, bright tones and light create depth and relief. This vibrant, almost molecular mass sometimes obscures the individual colors, features and individuals, merging into harmonious brilliance. Visually immersed, the artist urges us to reconsider the presence, absence and rebirth of humanity, the impression it has made and its history: an existential perspective where human beings continue to flourish together. This new forum for discussion is seen as a window opening wide onto our horizons, changing our perspective. Small, unique, non-identical rectangles punctuated by a grid of lines and curves rally towards a promise of continuity. This structural portrayal rationalizes the space and frames the distinct white bodies. The existential puzzle taking shape may densely populate the whole surface and lead to a sense of transcendence, beyond the realms of the soul. It represents an inner, introspective journey negotiated alone to break away from one’s ego and freely understand others and those around them. These metaphysical back and forth parallels strike a chord, moving from internal to external and from individual to group, causing individuals to resonate with their fellow beings. Self-abandon, isolation and solitude are merely illusory to be fully aware of our uniqueness and attain union. ‘We are all connected and part of a greater whole.’ In a chromatic continuum, Natalie reveals the invisible, connecting links, advocating the otherness of belonging in the deepest reaches of abstraction. The presences shy away, disappear and establish a new direction oriented towards pure energy and complete union, without any form of identification. ‘The white figure in all its brilliance has no reason to be restricted by its form.’ This loss of cohesiveness, aided by a more neutral palette, summons serenity, slowness, the necessary pause to master the quest for self-effacement for the benefit of others. It’s an optimistic invitation to hope, extending beyond finality, to re-evaluate what we must remember and what must be kept as traces of our lives.
