Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, Nadine Ponce’s multidisciplinary practice draws from her background in Political Science, Philosophy, and Theatre. It incorporates elements of music, film, and memory to explore states of transition, emotion, and form. Her work is layered—concealing and revealing thoughts—reflecting on the shifting boundaries between the personal and the collective, the seen and the felt. The nature of the city she grew up in, plays a central role in elements that have influenced her work and her creative process. Sao Paulo—its contradictions, density, and continuous transformation—deeply informs how she engages with space and narrative. It informs how she makes use of her mediums to layer and deconstruct,  in a cyclical fashion, always leaving some space in between; some space unfinished. Her work often incorporates natural elements, combining the organic with structure; transformation with stillness.

Past exhibitions have taken place in liminal or repurposed spaces across São Paulo, reinforcing her interest in movement, impermanence, and the quiet tension between fragmentation and reconstruction.

Hurricanes, crimson floods the surface like a memory returning—urgent, layered, unresolved. Figures, their outlines barely holding against the swell of color, caught between presence and absence. Gestures erratic, intimate, unfinished. No fixed horizon here; only the suggestion of aftermath and the trace of what once stood still. Motion and rupture.

About a Girl moves through the soft blur of recall. Rooted in fragments of childhood memory, first encounters with woundedness, and the unquiet intensity of teenagehood, the work circles the emotional edges of becoming. There’s a tension between softness and sharp action, between exposure and restraint.
