"I want to raise awareness that we live in an intact little paradise here.
This is not something you find everywhere!
My pictures are meant to inspire thought about how important nature is for all of us."
- Nathalie Bopp
The artist is deeply committed to raising awareness about the importance of protecting nature and draws attention to this vital cause through her art. Nathalies large-scale series "Inspiration Seeblick" (lake view inspiration) is inspired by her surroundings and reflects her passion for preserving the beauty of the natural world. In these works, she places particular emphasis on the eyes of her subjects, conveying a sense of depth, emotion, and connection to the viewer. Her portraits feature a diverse range of celebrated figures, including composer Richard Wagner, pianist Johannes Brahms, baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, comedian Vicco von Bülow (also known as Loriot), and painter Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
Each piece blends meticulous detail with an expressive style, inviting viewers to reflect not only on the personalities portrayed but also on the artist’s underlying message: the need to cherish and protect the fragile beauty of our natural world.
Inspiration Seeblick - NO DOUBT
For the artist, the eyes are the gateway to the human soul, serving as a bridge to connect with the essence of nature, creation, Mother Earth, and the universe itself.
By emphasizing the eyes in her art she invites viewers to explore their own relationship with the world around them. Her work is a call to rediscover our shared bond with nature and to protect the delicate balance of life that sustains us all.
