About Soleil Nation

As a young future icon fashion designer, having fun and expressing love is very important to Soleil and this is reflected in her work. Art has always played an important role in the Fashion World and is constantly used as an inspiration. Soleil’s fashion brand is just that, her fabric designs derived from her artwork.

In today’s society, we are under constant and intense media bombardment about what is “accepted” and capitalism has turned fashion into a tool for mass production and fast consumption. Slowing down. The process, Soleil wanted to concentrate on the essence of human relationship which for her is Art, fabric, and common ground. This fun spring/ summer collection explores inclusivity while prideful of our tribe. It was inspired by a Japanese culture called Osoroi code (おそろいコーデ), or matching outfits, and people who practice it do it when they’re out with friends, partners or family. Osoroi code people say that wearing matching outfits is an expression of their love and closeness with their partners or friends. To learn more visit https://soleilnation.com/

New Exhibition during Art Basel Week 2019

Announcing the Exhibition of New Work by Soleil Nation during Art Basel Week 2019

Art Basel Week 2019

Miami, FL – The Blockchain Center Miami and Bits And Tokens are happy to announce a major exhibition of new work by 5-YEAR-OLD artist and designer, Soleil River Nation showing exclusively at Blockchain Center Miami, December 3-6, 2019 in conjunction with the 18th edition of Art Basle Week 2019 in the sunshine state of Miami, FL.

Having just been named the nation’s newest Little Dreamer, Miss Nation has been invited to display at the first-ever Art x Tech exhibition,  featuring one of a kind immersive art experience for the Art Basel Week 2019.

Curated by ATO Gallery and multiple independent blockchain artists, Art x Tech will exhibit artists from around the world presenting acclaimed works in various mediums such as painting, sculpture, sustainable installations, live performances, and film and video projections.

Though only 5, Soleil’s work inspires emotions that the viewer can feel in their soul. Her paintings are condensed versions of colors, energy, and emotions, and her art, titled “Hearts to Give,” is an explosion of the emotions and raw feelings she experienced the first time she learned about children living in poverty.

Soleil started painting at age four, and was the youngest artist to showcase her paintings during the first only kids’ exhibit, happening simultaneously with Art Basel in Miami Beach in 2018 – “Wonder”. Since then she has been accumulating private collectors and her works hang in many prestigious homes and collections. Recently, one of her pieces was sold for thousands of dollars at a live-auction, during the 5th annual gala for Little Dreams Foundation (founded by Phil and Orianne Collins) in which she was also their first and the youngest ‘Little Dreamer’ art award recipient. Because of her talent, she was awarded private tutelage by the world-renowned legendary artist, Romero Britto.

Carrie Eldridge, Founder of ATO Gallery, curator of the exhibit said: “This inclusive exhibition bridges the gap between experiencing the benefits of technology within a fair, and will be a game-changer and raise the bar for future Miami Art Week and perhaps Art Basel fairs. Unlike many fairs, we will not only sell art, but educate, perform, and ignite discussion around how the art industry can be more malleable and accepting of technological advancements.”

The fact that a child is being given a serious opportunity to display art physical and virtual exemplifies the fact that this is a pivotal time in the art industry. The convergence of art and technology which provides for more equitable access for artists regardless of age and gender proves we are on the right track.

About ATO Gallery 

ATO believes people should own all of their art, meaning all the data attached to it. Using patent-pending technology, ATO has designed software that allows artists and collectors to understand the value of their art for its entire lifecycle. Knowing how well an artist’s collection sells, real-time demand, resale values, and many other factors allow them to speculate with insight. The ATO Platform also facilitates the ability to invest in artists much like a patron, but with a potential for a future return based on their career growth. The ability to stay connected to artists is one of the many things missing from the current art market. ATO is on a mission to expand the art market by empowering collectors, investors, and artists.

Art Wear

soleil with Holyfield, Red CarpetBehold the birth of ArtWear by Soleil.

In November 2019, Soleil was invited to attend the Little Dreams Foundation 5th Annual Gala Event which was held at the Moore Building in Design District Miami. 

This presented us the opportunity of showcasing another side of Soleil’s creative spirit. 

After a countless effort to find a suitable gown for the very special event as she was to experience her first-ever benefit gala, in which one of her artwork is also to be auctioned off. She had come up with an idea of wearing something pink and that is unique to her.

It was natural that artsy Soleil would find an aesthetic synergy in her own creation, looked to her existing art catalog to inspire this mom and daughter matching evening gown. This one of a kind gown is only available by ordering directly to us. Contact us for more info:

Here Comes The Sun

This is Solely Soleil River Nation‘s official website.

Soleil River Nation has had a world of influences in her short life. Born of a Filipina Mother and an American father, she has been privileged to travel great distances and enjoy many cultures. Her dynamic sense of self goes way beyond her four years of age,  her creative artistry is but one such example. Her sense of style, her comfort with all types of people, young or old, and her intuitive nature would have you believe you are not speaking to a child not yet entered kindergarten.

Her happy go lucky nature comes across in her ability to captivate people and put her original happy thoughts into her art.

Her original works are self-taught and at this time limited only by the materials she uses and the restrictions of not having her own studio but the world itself. She names her works and sees them as gifts to be enjoyed by all.

The History of Matching Outfits

Was she born with it? Or was she thrown into it?
