Natalia Bulloch (born Stepanova) is a self-taught Franco-Russian artist who has called Switzerland home since she was ten. Her imagination was shaped between two worlds: the quantum universe of her father, a CERN physicist, and her grandmother’s Reiki healing. Alongside her artistic practice, she is a Sophrologist and consultant, supporting individuals and organisations through change by drawing on the body’s intelligence. She lives and works in Geneva with her husband and young son, Daniel.
Our body knows.
Before words, before thought itself, something within us perceives, remembers, senses what is yet to come and connects us to the living world.
For more than fifteen years, Natalia has explored this secret language of the body. This exhibition invites us to encounter its many forms of intelligence.
To access them, we must enter another space-time and listen beyond the visible.
In the Transes series, the artist seeks an elusive threshold: the moment when the body ceases to be matter and becomes breath, energy — perhaps expanded consciousness.
Then the skin itself becomes a page. In the performance Hieroglyphs of the Soul, the artistic gesture becomes not only an act of listening, but also care and repair. A seed is planted. Natalia does not yet know it, but her therapeutic path began here.
She goes on to train in Sophrology, neuroscience and mindfulness. Art, science and healing converge. The body discovers that it does not know alone: connected to others, to the living world, it becomes a constellation.
At the end of these metamorphoses, Natalia leaves us with a question: faced with an increasingly technological future: What if our most precious intelligence were the one we have forgotten?
The intelligence of the body.
