Within its deep indigo expanse, elongated figures twist and flow, suspended between dream and performance. Each silhouette seems to move to its own invisible music, their gestures forming a surreal choreography that feels both cosmic and intimate. The blue tones — ranging from electric azure to midnight — evoke the quiet vastness of the sea or sky, while the delicate white and red dots add a pulse, like starlight flickering through shadow.

This piece embodies the essence of Nathalie’s Tourlicoulis spirit — the language of movement expressed through line. The abstract forms suggest human shapes, yet remain fluid, symbolic, and alive with energy. They might be dancers, divers, or celestial travelers — beings of pure rhythm and imagination. The dotted lower field resembles a landscape of sound or thought, a place where color and form converge into pure feeling.

In Blue Circus, everything is alive: the air, the shadows, the outlines of emotion. It is both playful and mysterious — a stage for invisible stories unfolding under the soft light of creation.

I love it because it feels like a dream in motion. The figures seem to breathe and move within the painting — free, strange, and beautiful. It captures that sacred balance between control and freedom, between art and play, where imagination becomes pure energy.
