Life
Cuéllar-Nathan was born in Zurich into a family immersed in the world of art. Both her parents, Dr. Peter Nathan and Barbara Nathan-Neher, were avid art dealers and art collectors. In the mid 1980s she attended the City & Guilds of London Art School. Subsequently, she studied and completed her training at the Akademie für bildende Künste in Vienna, Austria. Her studies led her to become a paper restorer after further training in Italy. After 1997, however, painting became the central facet of her work.
Art
Cuéllar-Nathan is famous for her landscape and cityscape paintings. She has travelled around the world with her easels and canvases, sometimes accompanied by sherpas, sometimes by family members and sometimes by mountaineers, but most of the time alone to places such as, Nepal, Spain, New York, Colombia, and Italy to find the right location and the right light. Always painted en plain air, her art is rooted in her search for perfection as well as her search for outstanding quality. The result is an effortless, atmospheric work that differs from one painting to the next. In her work, the perceiver and the perceived are over greater length of time an intertwined entity, constantly in communication in which traditional and moral values fade in and out of focus and ultimately marking the perceiver with a sense of serenity and sincerity, first captured with the eye and brush of the artist.
Exhibitions
Corinne Cuéllar-Nathan has had solo exhibitions around the world.
