BIOGRAPHY
Nathalie Marti is a Swiss artist based in New York working across sculpture and painting. After earning a law degree and passing the bar in Switzerland, she shifted paths to pursue art and completed her MFA at the School of Visual Arts. Her practice centers on hand-built ceramics and vibrant painting-sculptures that explore emotion, memory, and the absurdity of everyday life. Through playful assemblages and hybrid forms, she creates visual poems that draw viewers into a colorful, symbolic world shaped by humor, emotion, and imagination.
