Drawing on her background as a university laboratory head specializing in plant cell walls, Hélène David-Dubrana translates methods of scientific inquiry—reflection and experimentation—into her artistic practice. She works with plant fiber, which she transforms, combs, and structures to create both abstract and allusively figurative works. Whether saturated with dark pigments to produce rich blacks that play with light or infused with vivid colors, the fiber becomes a central medium. David-Dubrana’s process, grouped under the term NFinArt (Natural Fiber in Art), highlights the relationship between nature and humanity within a shared ecosystem. Her work has been featured in national and international exhibitions and documented in a publication (ISBN: 979.10.415.6582.5), emphasizing her commitment to connecting science and art.
