The tension between beauty and mystery contained within each person is at the center of Natalie del Nox's work. Born in California and raised in Quebec City and Montreal, she began her creative life as a tattoo artist before the limits of the medium pushed her toward canvas. Fifteen years into her practice as a mixed-media painter, she continues to direct her energy into uncovering feminine power at the intersection of divinity, beauty, and sensuality.

​

Del Nox has aphantasia. She cannot form mental images. She discovered this only when others described what it meant to visualize, and realized she had never once seen a picture in her mind. She had always worked from feeling instead. Still does.

​

Her work draws from a life lived across cultures and subcultures: underground spaces where she worked as a model and director, an artist residency in rural India, recurring visits to Burning Man, and an ongoing relationship with Berlin as subject and influence. In 2019, she relocated to Puerto Vallarta to raise her son. The city's color, culture, and customs have reshaped her expression.​

Del Nox has collaborated with internationally acclaimed musician and artist Mercan Dede, and has exhibited alongside H.R. Giger and Alex Grey. Featured in VICE and recognized with the Audience Choice Award at Festival Mtl en Arts three times in five years, her work has been shown across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
