NMA (NANCY MARISA ARLT)<br />

Germany<br />

Berlin-based artist NMA first emerged onto<br />

the German art scene in 2004, following her<br />

graduation from the University of Arts in<br />

Berlin (UdK).<br />

NMA was raised in a city divided by a<br />

wall, having thus experienced both sides<br />

before and after the fall of the Berlin wall.<br />

Her art is heavily influenced by the city‘s<br />

new-found sense of freedom, a spirit of<br />

unlimited possibilities and a feeling of former<br />

restrictions rupturing, leading to limitlessness.<br />

<strong>The</strong> artist’s most recent long-term staple<br />

project, and one of her most compelling, was<br />

a compilation of paintings interpreting the<br />

vast assortment of musical pieces by world<br />

renowned composer Richard Wagner onto<br />

canvas, in honor of his bicentennial in 2013. An<br />

installation that was described by Wagner‘s<br />

great granddaughter Katharina Wagner as<br />

“extraordinarily successful” and “inspiring”,<br />

as well as “controlled conversion” and “highly<br />

emotional”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> inspiration for the two pieces <strong>The</strong> Source<br />

and Rhythm was the impulse, that special<br />

moment out of which music and creative<br />

processes in general evolve.<br />
