Between Microcosm and Macrocosm
n Natalja Nouri’s work, the cultures, concepts, and symbolism of East and West collide in a mysterious symbiosis.
And yet she still does not fit easily into the category of the multicultural scene as we know it.
She follows her own way, belongs to no school. The motifs, themes and creative tasks with which she concerns herself,
are traditional signs, symbolism and her own symbols. She asks questions about what holds the world together in its most
elemental sense - the hidden connections between macrocosm and microcosm. Natalja Nouri draws micro-organisms
which she uses as a metaphor for galaxies to demonstrate the unity of micro and macro cosmos.
The genetic chain is a preoccupation of the artist and it features repeatedly in her work, illustrating how the very essence of humanity source is connected to nature, entwined inseparably within the entire cosmos. Whatever the scale of her art, she works with an accuracy that is correct to the last millimeter. Nothing is left to chance; even the smallest detail becomes a miniature of astonishing verisimilitude.
