“I am consumed by painting. The moment I enter into my creative space, a world different to the one now present emerges and I live in her embrace for those hours in front of my canvas. I work at speed and without interruption, believing that every brushstroke is a Journey. Sometimes we get lost; if we didn’t, the end would always be the same”
- Natasha Barnes
Natasha's art is deeply inspired by her travels and the world around her, especially her home of South Africa. The vibrant colours and shapes formed in her paintings are a direct reflection of what is happening in her mind, as she passionately transfers her mood and memories onto her canvas.
A self taught artist who has been painting since the age of 7, Natasha took a chance and gave up her career in the culinary industry to pursue her passion for painting after a number of successful exhibitions. Constantly exploring new ideas and experimenting with different mediums, Natasha has developed a profound style reflective of abstract expressionism over the years.
