Nathalie Brilliant received her MFA in New Genres from the San Francisco Art Institute and her BA in psychology from Wesleyan University. Nathalie works in various mediums such as painting, installation, photography, video, sound and performance art dependent on concept. Her performance art pieces consider the notion of presence in context with site-specifity. She views her performance art pieces as, "living things," to postulate the body as an art form, in relation to sculpture or a painting, and utilize the body to create sculptural body pieces that live for durations in varying spaces.

Brilliant employs color within her paintings as a means to dissect color relations and explore her subconscious mind within the form of paint. Her process informs her paintings, and often through a space of meditation and release, she discovers the images for her paintings that she wishes to create. Nathalie also curates art shows and works one-on-one with artists to guide their art visions and practice. Nathalie Brilliant teaches yoga and Pilates, and leads guided walking meditations. She has done performances at Kadist Art Foundation, Southern Exposure, YBCA, Adobe Backroom gallery, and a video was accepted and presented as part of the Berkeley Student Film Festival. Nathalie currently lives and works between Mammoth Lakes and San Francisco, California.
