NADIA ATTURA

Nadia's works balance between the real and the surreal, transporting us to distant, hazy lands. Vintage, pastel tones and an illustrative approach imbue her works with a dream-like feel, that's further enhanced by her meticulous collaging of her photography, paintings and drawings. Often grappling with ideas of idealism and paradise, the images become multi-faceted tableaux, combining unexpected objects, settings and colours to construct uncanny depictions of desirable destinations. The original photographs disappear from documentary single imagery toward a more painterly poetic interpreted view of the world. Capturing the world through her analogue and digital cameras, she layers fragmented scenes to create her charming imagined landscapes.

Nadia has exhibited at The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2019 and 2016, selling out all exhibited works and editions. In 2017 she was one of five finalists in the VAO. Her work is featured in VOGUE, The New York Times, The Guardian, Aesthetica Magazine, Enki Magazine and Ideal Home. This year’s exhibitions include The Other Art Fair and The Affordable Art Fair.

Nadia graduated from The University of Arts London in 1999 with a Postgraduate in Photojournalism. She lives in London.
