About
MontilleArt
Nadine Montille is influenced by her travels, by cultural diversity and the different experiences she encounters. Her roots, lay deep in Mauritius, where she was born and lived until her 30s.
Deeply connected to nature and the tropics, She seeks to represent the link between man and his tropical surroundings, connecting us through time and space.
The boundless colours unique are to the tropical traits of South East Asian region. Guided by foliage, her compositions represent a deep understanding of the natural world and an awe of its unpredictable flow. Her work incorporates bold, somewhat delicate shapes of intuitive abstraction. The natural complexity of colours lead to a dreamy organic composition of feminine perspective, both lush and abundant.
She is self-represented and enjoys collaborating with galleries upon invitation. Graduating in Mauritius in 2001 with a BA Hons. in Fine Art and Painting, she has been painting ever since.
Having showcased abroad, she is working continuously on different projects to share the beauty of our surroundings.
