Flow and sensory experience are the essence of Natasscha Girelli’s art. Her paintings immediately captivate the eye with lively floral forms that grow and bloom in a vibrant symphony of colors across the canvas. Through soft and expressive brushstrokes, NG speaks to the senses and the imagination, drawing the viewer into a world reminiscent of a primordial ocean where water plants and familiar land flowers sway together in a harmonious, flowing connection. Her paintings reflect the eternal movement and profound beauty we are all part of when we step into life on Earth.

As a viewer, you are invited into an enchanting and healing energy that evokes a deep sense of joy.

NG grew up in Glyngøre by the Limfjord, and it is undoubtedly one of the reasons why the fjord plays such a significant role in her inspiration. It was here, on a summer’s day, that the Fjordling was born in NG’s imagination while diving as a child at the clearing of an eelgrass forest. This tender, magical creature lives deep within the Limfjord. A free-swimming jelly-like being that has taken form and possesses a creative force, used only to make everything grow and bloom because it instinctively understands that its own survival depends on it. The Fjordling shapes and influences its world just as we humans do, embracing all that surrounds it. That is its greatness. The Fjordling appears in all of NG’s paintings sometimes pulsating in the foreground, other times hidden deep within the composition.

A talk about the magic fjord

NG begins her day with a good cup of coffee and an early walk along the fjord, absorbing its energy, storing it within, and bringing it back to her studio. She paints with acrylic on canvas and loves working in flow, especially on large-scale formats. NG also sparks curiosity through her ceramics, which are clearly inspired by life beneath the surface. In her ceramic work, we encounter a sculptural underwater world of soft and whimsical forms inviting both the eyes and fingertips on an adventure. One could say that the fjord flows through NG’s veins, and she channels its healing energy into everything she creates.
