A living, vibrant, and eco-responsible passion

38 Quai des Artistes is a permanent exhibition of diverse creations, where every corner of the gallery invites you on a journey of discovery and escape. Techniques and inspiration harmonize within works of varying styles:

• Original paintings and artworks brimming with energy, such as graphic and contemporary portraits, or the gentle landscapes and local heritage inspired by our beautiful Périgord region. Powerful and magnificent, the animal portraits leave no one unmoved (majestic elephants, colorful peacocks and toucans).
• Sculptures and volumes in the form of small animal sculptures with a raw and authentic character.

Nathalie transforms her shop into a veritable art gallery where each object has a carefully considered place. Colour, texture, reflection, energy – the canvases harmonize with the furniture and the exhibited works, creating a unique atmosphere filled with poetry at 38 Quai des Artistes.

A unique art form that values recycling and upcycling

An artist at heart, this lover of culture gives a second life to materials and textiles through upcycling, skillfully customizing the items that pass through her hands.

• Sustainable Fashion & Ready-to-Wear: Discover her collection of paintings on second-hand clothing. Her hand-customized denim jackets, featuring unique visuals ranging from pop culture to vintage rock style or made to order, breathe new life into forgotten textile pieces.
• Unique Artist Jewelry: Nothing is wasted! Excess paint and paint chips are meticulously recovered and transformed to create original and colorful handcrafted jewelry.
• Upcycled Decor & Furniture: From personalized lighting to updated furniture, she re-enchants everyday objects to make them centerpieces of your interior.

Exciting painting courses offered all year round

More than just a craft shop, 38 Quai des Artistes is a vibrant space dedicated to art, including an area reserved for teaching, sharing, and learning. From September to June, Nathalie offers friendly classes to introduce you to the joys of color and composition, at your own pace and without feeling self-conscious. Technique, expertise, creativity, and originality are all part of these almost private workshops (groups are limited to 10 people). 38 Bis Quai des Artistes is a wonderful address to remember for a fantastic experience in the heart of art.
