Portrait of Kali (Nathalie Jarsaillon), a self-taught artist between nature, resilience, and commitment
A self-taught artist who found refuge in painting
Kali, whose real name is Nathalie Jarsaillon, has made her mark in contemporary painting through a sincere and instinctive approach. A self-taught artist, she discovered in painting a refuge, an outlet, and a language to express what words cannot say.
Without attending art school or following any academic path, she built a body of work on her own, kept away from the public eye for many years. For her, painting became a vital breath, a path of reconstruction, and a way to connect with others.
The circle as an artistic signature
The singularity of her work lies in her choice of format: the circle. A universal symbol of life cycles and perpetual movement, the circle has become her artistic signature. Unlike the rigid square, the circle opens a fluid, meditative, almost sacred space.
Each circular canvas by Kali becomes a world of its own, inviting contemplation and introspection.
Between nature and commitment
Kali’s works reveal a deep connection with nature. More than just a motif, it is an essential, almost spiritual presence running through her paintings. Her art conveys both gratitude and warning: a tribute to the beauty of the world, and a reminder of its fragility.
