Nathalie - "Mini Me"
At the age of fifteen Nathalie Abbing became a young entrepreneur in the media sector. Her passion was make-up and special effects make-up, creating specific characters and transformations was her speciality. She worked for many photography, television and film productions. Still, after fifteen successful years, she decided to take a drastic step and broaden her horizons. In her quest she discovered the versatility of fine art and how artists speak through their art. This made her decide to go back to school.
Nathalie Abbing completed her studies in 2008 at the St. Joost Academy of Art and Design in 's Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. Her graduation project consisted of two series of photographs. Self-portraits and dead animals, prey brought home by her cats. The photos show the beauty of what is usually not seen as appealing. The magnified subjects were placed in a different light of day; highlighting moments that are strongly anchored in often harrowing emotions.
