Natalie Pleis, born in Ghent in 1968, is a renowned artist celebrated for her innovative and evocative abstract works. After studying art history in Paris, she began her creative career in furniture restoration, specializing in intricate marquetry. Her expertise in patinas led her to develop a unique artistic practice—painting on wood with natural and metallic pigments applied exclusively with a palette knife.

Her works have been featured in prestigious galleries across Ghent, Nieuwpoort, Lille, and London and showcased at international art fairs, solidifying her reputation as a leading figure in contemporary abstract art.

Collection 'DEPTHS OF THE EARTH'

Her collections, including Depths of the Earth, Caelum, and Kintsura, reflect her deep connection to nature and her mastery of texture and abstraction.

In Depths of the Earth, Pleis delves into the raw, primal essence of nature. Using wood as her canvas, she integrates earthy pigments and materials to create textured, tactile pieces that celebrate the unrefined beauty of the natural world. This collection captures the ruggedness of the earth and invites viewers to connect with its elemental power, offering a sensory experience that feels both grounding and timeless.
