The author

Nathalie Porteils : a young woman who loves poetry, creative writing, dance, movement and art…

Nathalie Porteils has always been fascinated by her search for an unity between body, soul and spirit, and by the ways in which the body manages to communicate through our emotions, our movements and our pains to tell us about our lives.

 

While working as a professional physical therapist – masso-kinesitherapy and haptonomy – Nathalie explores art under its multiple forms: drawing, writing, poetry, dance et movement; the free expression of the being through several medias.

Todays she stands at the center of those converging currents and, nourished by her complex life experiences, she welcomes you to a journey across those last ten years of poetry and those last twenty years of art; a miggling meltingpot in which each piece of art goes on to illustrate the next…

About the book

As far as I am concerned, what Nathalie has delivered goes beyond poetry, it is a novel of a new kind. Each of the poems comes with a picture and reflects a specific state of mind at a given moment. [...]La saveur de ma vie is a story written without being told.Everyone is able to understand it, but in many different ways according to our own experiences.The details do not matter: only the journey does.

Grégory Beuret

This book is one of a kind since it is neither illustrated poetry nor a bunch of drawings stringed together with a few lines of text: the words and the pictures stand as equals – there are double pages with only text as well as pages showing several paintings at once.La Saveur de ma vie is meaning to share a life experience, it takes its reader on a journey through her author's eyes even as she experiences ansgst, questions her place in the universe and thanks Life Itself for the marvellous sights it bestows upon her everyday.
