Nathalie Chaulaic

After several professional experiences abroad and in marketing, I retrained as a mosaicist in the early 2000s.

I am a researcher. I like to experiment, play with materials and shapes, with colors, and above all let myself be surprised by venturing down unexpected paths. Concerned about the environment, I attach importance to the reuse of “waste”, the recycling of materials and the use of environmentally friendly materials. I discover the use of eggshell in crafts in Asia. In 2015, I opened a new and fascinating path by diverting eggshell material to develop a series of panels and bas-relief paintings with material effects enhanced by black and the play of light.
