Captivating Artistry by Vanessa Hajje

As an artist, I draw inspiration from the natural world and the human form. My background as a massage therapist and practitioner of Chinese medicine for over twenty years has given me a deep understanding of anatomy, energy, and movement — elements that often surface in my paintings.

My work encourages a reconnection with both nature and the body. I want viewers to feel grounded, alive, and more aware of the beauty that surrounds and resides within them.

Influenced by both Impressionism and Fauvism, my paintings range from bold, expressive compositions with vivid colors and dynamic brushwork to softer pieces that capture fleeting moments of light and atmosphere.

Through each canvas, I seek to express emotion honestly and to remind others of the simple, powerful harmony between humanity and the natural world.
