Nadia Yaron is a Brazilian-born American artist of Russian and Italian descent. She lives and works in upstate New York where she sculpts with wood, stone, and metal to reflect themes of fragility, impermanence, and oneness with nature, often informed by her idyllic rural surroundings. Yaron demonstrates impermanence by honoring small transient events such as a fallen leaf, a gust of wind, a flower blooming, or a pink cloud.
Yaron creates vertical structures that represent the lay of the land as she sees it. Grass, cornfields, trees, mountains, and moon are abstract documentations. She assembles wood and stone to create a magnified slightly anthropomorphic portrait of a flower depicting the sacredness and uniqueness of every flower and furthermore every being.
Yaron honors the beauty of the universe by embracing the perfection and inherent truth of its natural materials. She works in collaboration with nature. Her wood is intentionally and locally sourced and as a way of giving back, every year she plants native hardwood trees.
Prior to sculpting Nadia was co-creator of Nightwood - a reincarnated furniture, textiles and interiors studio started in Brooklyn 2007 www.nightwoodny.com
