Fluid Memory explores themes of childhood and nostalgia, reinterpreting personal memory through a combination of paint pouring and figurative realism.
The paintings are characterised by organic streams of cellular and vacuolar forms that merge seamlessly with realistic figures, creating a visual language that reflects the compression of time and the fragile, layered process of remembering.
Nadia begins each painting in a state of chaos: colour poured in liquid streams, tilting and flowing under the influence of gravity, air, and chance. The paint finds its own path — spreading like rivers through valleys, wind carving clouds, or moss weaving across bark.
