Meet Erica Carboni: Our First Nafas Resident Artist

There are so many layers to the vision I’ve had for Nafas.

Yes, it’s a place to move, breathe and restore — but I’ve always wanted it to be a space that brings together different forms of wellbeing, creativity and connection too.

So I’m really excited to introduce Erica Carboni, our very first resident artist at Nafas Wellness Studio. ✨

Erica is a London-born artist who graduated in Fine Art Painting from Camberwell College of the Arts in 2008. After 16 years working in art education, she returned to her own creative practice, bringing together her love of painting with her experience as a reflexologist and a deeper understanding of wellbeing.

Her work explores emotion, connection and the quieter moments of life — creating pieces intended to evoke calm, reflection and joy.

And it feels very fitting that the first collection to hang on the walls of Nafas will be Erica’s Coming Home.

Coming Home marks Erica’s return to painting after many years of putting her own creativity aside. It explores reconnecting with a part of yourself that has always been there — rediscovering creativity, identity and the freedom to simply create.

At its heart, it asks what it means to come home to yourself.

To pause.
To reflect.
To reconnect.
To embrace who you are becoming.

There’s something about that which feels so aligned with what I hope Nafas can be. 🤍

Coming Home will be on display at Nafas throughout September, and the original artworks will be available to purchase, with prints available for selected pieces too.

And this won't be the last you'll see of Erica. Later this year, she'll be joining us to host a creative workshop at the studio, giving you the opportunity to explore some of these themes through your own creativity. More on that soon. ✨

And this is only the beginning…

My hope is that the walls of Nafas will continue to evolve, creating opportunities for other artists to share their work with our community.

So if you're an artist who feels your work could have a home at Nafas, I'd love to hear from you. Whether you're established, returning to your creativity like Erica, or somewhere in between, please get in touch at hello@nafaswellnessstudio.com.

I can't quite tell you how lovely it feels to see all these different pieces of the Nafas vision beginning to come together.

Movement. Breath. Sound. Art. Creativity. Community.

All under one roof. 🤍

Welcome to Nafas, Erica.

And welcome home. ✨
