Nadia Yaron was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and grew up in New York City. Now an artist based in upstate New York, he has been sculpting in wood, stone and metal since 2017. Nadia's work reflects simplicity, impermanence, imperfection and vulnerability. Using chain saws, axes and hand carving tools, the self-taught artist has developed his own language around tools and mediums.
Nadia Yaron often stacks individual sculptures to create a feeling of harmony accompanied by imbalance, an apt reminder of how delicate our world is.Her sculptural landscapes are an attempt to physically embody and make permanent the everchanging landscapes around us.The sculptures are stacked in totemic forms held in a delicate equilibrium, often with the heaviest piece of stone at the top.
Nadia Yaron’s weaving background instilled an appreciation of texture as reflected in her choice of wood and stone shaped with a chainsaw and hand-carving tools. Yaron’s sculptures are inspired by small, transient events, such as a fallen leaf, a gust of wind, a pink iris pushing itself up through the spring snow, or a cloud passing overhead. She honors nature’s beauty by embracing the perfection and inherent truth of natural materials, and her work expresses a belief in moving closer to spirit and ultimately finding peace.
