Natacha is a contemporary artist focused in creating abstract ink paintings which are characteristically pure and minimalistic.
Painting and drawing have been part of her life since her youth. Until 2008 she was self-taught and obtained her knowledge and skills through careful observation of her environment. In 2009 she began taking painting classes.
Over the years, the wish for more impulses from outside, new challenges and the need to leave and extend her comfort zone grew stronger in her. Therefore, she decided in 2015 to start the diploma study of Visual Arts at the Visual Art School Basel. Towards the end of the studies, the wish for a simplification and reduction in her artistic work became more and more evident. With her love for nature it was obvious that she was drawn to natural materials.
This urge originated in her personal environment. For many years, Natacha has been closely observing her behaviour, thoughts and feelings. The desire for simplification and the effort to find her inner balance became stronger. This simplification turned out to be a significant part not only in her life but has found its way into her artistic work.
Natacha mainly works with materials such as ink, oil pastels and fine-liners. In addition to the common brushes, she also uses materials from nature like panicles, grasses and wood as her creative tools. A significant part of her creation process is also about recycling and reusing natural materials.
By creating her delicate work she is striving for inner balance, that she shares with her audience.
