Marie-Charlotte Nouza’s paintings explore intimacy, vulnerability, and the strangeness of being alive. Through portraits of people and animals, she studies how emotion and instinct shape the body. Her work moves between tenderness and discomfort, humor and unease. Using oil on canvas and wood, she captures fragile moments — a glance, a posture, a trace of desire. The figures she paints are imperfect but present, quietly confronting the viewer with their humanity. Her practice turns everyday scenes into spaces of recognition, where beauty and awkwardness meet without apology.
