Nathaly Nathaly Nathaly is an artist, writer, and director specializing in consciousness-based storytelling and cinematic experiences. She earned her MFA in Screenwriting from the David Lynch Graduate School of Cinematic Arts in 2024, the last graduating class under her mentor, David Lynch. Her curatorial exhibition, Light: Essence of Photography by David Lynch at the Salvador Dalí House Museum in 2023, marks a pivotal moment in her transcendence from curator to artist. To close the exhibition, Lynch instructed Nathaly to destroy the artwork—a directive that inspired a series of works created at Museo Casa Salvador Dalí.
Nathaly’s collaboration with David Lynch began in 2017 when she created the Red Room experience at the Festival of Disruption, a director-approved installation and exhibition presented by Polaroid Originals. Nathaly led creative production for Polaroid Originals, developing and producing marketing campaigns that redefined the heritage brand for a millennial audience. Nathaly + Partners became the official production company for Polaroid Originals, guiding the successful acquisition by the Polaroid brand. Nathaly’s visionary contributions led teams in social, digital, and experiential projects across the United States and European markets.
In 2018, Nathaly was invited to create the Eraserhead Experience, curated by David Lynch, for the New York debut of the Festival of Disruption. Collaborating with the Criterion Collection, Bang & Olufsen, and Polaroid Originals, Nathaly and her team transformed the surrealist world of Eraserhead into an immersive experience, guiding their audience to become the Lady in the Radiator, Lynch’s beacon of Light. Nathaly’s journey into immersive art began with her collaboration on Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey as part of artist Simon Birch’s The Barmecide Feast, an installation acquired by the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. This marked Nathaly’s first major foray into creating boundary-pushing, interactive art that bridges cinema and immersive storytelling.
With over a decade of experience in commercial creative direction, Nathaly has worked with top-tier clients and collaborators. Her award-winning work spans experiential campaigns and creative consulting for leading agencies and independent companies. As a brand-marketing guru and storyteller, Nathaly builds lasting brands and presents bold, transformative ideas for all audiences, shaping the future of creativity.
As Creative Ambassador for the David Lynch Foundation, Nathaly lectures globally on Meditation, Creativity, Peace at summits for thought-leaders co-create a new world. Currently, Nathaly is focused on living The Art Life, a term she embraces from her mentor, David Lynch, creating work that invites audiences to experience the world in new ways. Nathaly is actively seeking investors and collaborators who resonate with her innovative artistic journey.
