About the artist
Nathalie Nuber
"Born in Paris to a family of artists, I moved to India at the age of 7 when my family came to live in Auroville as devotees of Sri Aurobindo and Mother. Growing up in India has had a profound influence in my life, in painting, sculpture or photography, as my roots are both eastern and western. Beauty, refinement, adventure and a good sense of humour are, I believe, indispensable tools for survival.
