Nathalie Seguin

In 2024, Daum is initiating a new collaboration imbued with grace and lightness with the French sculptor Nathalie Seguin , giving birth to Paloma , a vibrant work where crystal becomes movement. Inspired by the expressive power of the female body in motion, the artist explores a dancing figure, balanced between heaven and earth, captured in an almost unreal flight.

Trained in bronze sculpting, Nathalie Seguin draws inspiration from the Art Nouveau movement, which she reinterprets with a contemporary sensibility. Her work is distinguished by the fluidity of lines, the grace of the bodies, and the sensuality of the undulating forms. Like the stylized female figures of Art Nouveau, Paloma embodies an ideal of beauty, poetry, and sublimated nature, but with a contemporary touch of suspended emotion, of vibrant silence.

In this first work in crystal paste, the artist experiments with a new material where transparency and chromatic vibration amplify the lightness of her gesture. The delicate curves of the dress, the tension of the drapery, the suspended momentum of the arm: everything here evokes the invisible music that guides Paloma . The material captures the light as fabric captures the wind, revealing the inner dance of this eternal muse.

With this creation, Daum reaffirms its commitment to iconic female figures and the poetic expression of movement, while opening a new chapter of dialogue between crystal and the great names of contemporary sculpture.
