Natalia Rose
My paintings do not depict things which I actually observe, but rather what I recall from the past, and more accurately, what I wish to see. Drawing from historical and cultural imagery a map of identity that intermingle Eastern and Western ideals of beauty, as well as mythologies. Believing that color stimulates a conversation between motion and shape, I transcribe life's events through hue, shape and motion and translate onto canvas with a syncopated beat the magnificence of our world. With constant motion and impression intensity, we experience overwhelm in the search for a tangible means of self-expression. Complexity and lack of clarity leads to an experience of separation, loneliness, and a yearning to connect to something. Someone. While at the same time to separate and be distinguishable, differentiated. We are held captive by a state of unrest, but in the end I believe, beauty will save the world.
