NATASSCHA GIRELLI LOVES NATURE. MAYBE HER LOVE FOR THE OCEAN IS SUCH A BIG INSPIRATION FOR HER BECAUSE SHE GREW UP AT THE MOUTH OF THE SEA BY A FJORD, LIMFJORDEN.

OR AS SHE SAYS: ”MOST BEAUTIFUL OF ALL IS THE OCEAN. IT IS IN PERPETUAL MOTION AND IT BINDS US ALL TOGETHER DEEP INSIDE. WHEN I´M PAINTING MY GREATEST INSPIRATION ARE CURRENTS BECAUSE, REALLY, THEY ARE IN EVERYTHING THAT IS IN MOTION, GOING PLACES, SOME KNOWN, SOME UNKNOWN. IN TIME, WHEN I´M PAINTING, IT HAS BECOME SECOND NATURE TO ME TO BE IN MOTION JUST LIKE THESE WONDERFUL CURRENTS, EVERY STROKE OF MY PAINT BRUSH IS A TRAIL FROM MY INNERMOST COLORFUL OCEAN. THE LONG, LANGUID LINES HAVE BECOME MY PERSONAL EXPRESSION AND A TECHNIQUE THAT I HAVE REFINED (OVER AND OVER).

EVER SINCE SHE WAS A LITTLE TODDLER IN A BIG WORLD ARTS AND CULTURE HAVE BEEN BEDROCKS IN NATASSCHA GIRELLI´S LIFE. SO EARLY ON SHE DECIDED TO IMMERSE HERSELF IN ART.

AT RANDERS ART SCHOOL SHE LEARNED TO MASTER THE ART OF ETCHING. LATER ON SHE WENT TO KOLDING´S SCHOOL OF DESIGN AFTER WHICH SHE DECIDED TO GO THE COMMERCIAL ROUTE.

TODAY NATASSCHA GIRELLI HAS A CAREER AS AN INTERNATIONAL FREELANCE ART DIRECTOR IN THE FASHION WORLD AND IN THAT SHE HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH THE OPPORTUNITIES TO TRAVEL THE WORLD WITH HER JOB. NOT TO BE ABLE TO TRAVEL DUE TO LOCKDOWN ET AL WAS THE NEEDED NUDGE TO MAKE HER RESUME HER GREAT PASSION: PAINTING.

LOCKDOWN BROUGHT CALMNESS TO HER LIFE AND IT IS, AS SHE SAYS, NOTHING SHORT OF FANTASTIC TO BE ABLE TO IMMERSE ONESELF IN PAINTING AFTER ALL THE YEARS ON THE ROAD. THROUGH THE BUBBLE OF ISOLATION SHE FOUND HER WAY BACK TO THE ESSENTIAL VERSION OF HERSELF.

NATASSCHA GIRELLI PAINTS WITH ACRYLIC PAINT AND PREFERABLY ON LARGER CANVASSES.
