Simone Verfaille | When Nature Talks

Simone Verfaille presents When Nature Talks, Simone delves into the symbiotic relationship between sound, movement, and the embodiment of experiences within nature. Inspired by the transformative power of natural environments, particularly through snorkeling, waterfall hopping, and swimming, she immerses herself in the meditative rhythm of these experiences.

The essence of these paintings lies in the fusion of auditory and kinesthetic sensations. She deliberately tunes into the soothing cadence of natural water sounds as she paints, allowing them to guide her artistic process. Each brushstroke becomes a dance, an interplay between the movement of her hand and the soundscape's fluidity. Through this immersive practice, Simone transcends the confines of the studio, finding herself transported into a world where time slows and the boundaries between self and nature blur.

These paintings encapsulate not only the visual beauty of natural landscapes but also the intangible essence of ease (or serenity) and wonder that such experiences brought forth. When Nature Talks invites you to embark on a sensory journey, where the whispers of water and the movement of colour merge to evoke a profound connection with the natural world and, to Simone, teachings of gratitude.

This show runs from 03 May - 31 May.
