Nathalia Caroline Maria Koux

Class of: 2000
Nationality: Swiss-Danish
Degree course: Fine Arts

Koux is a 24-year-old Swiss-Danish multimedia artist with Ukrainian origins, who engages with corporality and nature as a starting point to explore the body, the skin, psyche, pain, and the organic.

The spine is a recurrent element in her works, as a paradoxical symbol of strength and vulnerability, inspired by her fascination for organic shapes, but also the Mavka, a Ukrainian mythological figure that wanders with her back open. Influenced by her degree in psychology, she seeks to create an interactive, intimate and reflective space for her audience.

Nathalia explores every possible medium, material and technique such as installation, sculpture, performance, sound/video art, painting and printmaking. She primarily integrates repurposed, discarded items, and organic components into her works, giving these elements new signification.

Recently, she has been experimenting and researching innovative sustainable techniques with natural and non-toxic material for casting, as well as Scooby and Mycelium growth. This ethos extends to her incorporation of organic or partially-organic elements in her mediums, reflecting her profound connection to nature.
