Statement

Life is constantly in the process of balancing itself, whether in nature or art. Using mixed media, my artistic process is a dance between extremes: perfection and imperfection, light and dark, control and letting go. Playing with opposing elements births the insight and beauty in my art—a reminder to embrace life’s complexity.

 

            I start a piece by photographing a model and digitally treating the image. On my canvas, I begin with layers of watered-down acrylic paint on metallic sheets applied to a black gessoed canvas or a pure white background. As the acrylic dries, it chooses its own shape, creating a push-and-pull relationship between what I can and can’t control. I then transfer the image, moving from the precision of digital photography to the spontaneity of changing mediums. Layers of acrylic paint, spray paint, water-based oil pastel, soft pastel, and fusain merge to create the final piece, just like the many layers in a personality.

 

 

            Art is a journey into the self and a process of uncovering. As I create, I delve into the depths of myself to find something within me that’s reflected back on my canvas. Using figurative-abstract portraits, I offer both women and men a different window for seeing into the female experience and its multiple sides: the goddess, the mother, and the dreamer. In my work, I reach stillness and the expansiveness of self that helps me find unity between conveying my personal experience and the universal human experience.

The Artist

The tension between the beauty and mystery contained within each person is centered in the mixed-media work of artist Natalie Del Nox. Born in Fountain Valley, California, Del Nox has pursued and exhibited her artistic visions across multiple countries, from the U.S. to Canada and Mexico. Growing up in Quebec City and Montreal, Del Nox first carved out a creative life as a tattoo artist with her private studio. The limits of tattooing led Del Nox to seek more artistic freedom, culminating in her role as the designer, painter, and creative director behind Fn Vegas Art.

 

               With ten years as a mixed-media artist, Del Nox now directs her creative energy into uncovering feminine power and the intersection between divinity, beauty, and sensuality. Just as her portraiture blends figurative and abstract elements to create a style all her own, Del Nox’s adventures into different creative worlds coincide in her multi-dimensional work. She draws upon her connections to disparate cultures and subcultures, from her recurring participation at Burning Man to her artist residency in rural India and her years of modeling and directing in underground subcultures.

 

               Del Nox has collaborated with internationally esteemed artist Mercan Dede, showcasing her work alongside renowned artists H.R. Giger and Alex Grey. Having been featured in various magazines throughout the years and winning the Audience Choice Award from Festival Mtl en Arts three times in 5 years, Del Nox continues digging to new creative depths with her ever-evolving art.

 

Natalie Del Nox lives and works in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
