nadi salement riche

My mother raised me in a home bustling with creativity. Both in her, as she was an out-of-home tattoo artist for a lot of my childhood, and in our home; painted trashcans and framed art decorated the rooms. We were a family in poverty, and it has taught me to become resourceful in my creativity as well as standard life. I prioritize sustainability.

I try to use mostly recycled material for my art. Cardboard for canvas, and paint scraps for painting. I believe the world will benefit from a rise in upcycled art. Upcycled canvas, upcycled supplies… Let us utilize our waste!

I was not able to comfortably advance to a higher art education, that being said, I have never stopped reaching out for knowledge.

BY TECHNICALITY, I AM CURRENTLY SELF TAUGHT, AND I SPEND EVERY SINGLE DAY STUDYING OR PRACTICING MY CRAFT. HOWEVER, I CONSIDER MYSELF A STUDENT OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.

While I am the one processing information and ideas, they are entirely reflective of the world around me. I am taught by artists met in passing, by the way nature has molded its’ world.

I do not want to ever stop expanding in art. I want to travel far and wide , and I want to grow under many artist’s care and knowledge.

I OWE MY FIRE TO MY MOTHER, who is a metaphorical bonfire in her career. She has taught me how to want something very badly, and how to fully go for it.

I AM A CULMINATION OF THE LOVE AND PASSION MY LIFE IS ENTANGLED IN. MY ART IS REPRESENTATION OF THAT.

combining humanity and creativity- as nature intended.
