'Acrylic Notions'
Natasha Barnes is a self-taught fine artist from South Africa. Her natural talent and pure passion for painting has led Natasha to develop a profound style reflective of abstract expressionism. The artist’s dynamic marriage of colour and texture, created via sophisticated mark making, evokes a sense of fluidity, movement and thoughts of a ‘journey’ in every piece.
Her inspirations stem from her travels and the love for the rich images surrounding her life, being absorbed in the mind and transferred to the canvas without direct observation. Natasha paints in water based mediums. Application is thick and sometimes textured.
Apart from a few art lessons as a child, Natasha has had no formal art training. After completing school, she studied Cordon Bleu cookery and worked as a cookery editor and food stylist for a leading South African Magazine, before opening her own cookery school. During her cookery years Natasha painted part time, and exhibited extensively in South Africa. Her love for the brush finally led to the decision to give up everything and paint professionally.
Her work can be found in corporate and private collections around the world and has been exhibited extensively in the UK, America and the Middle East. Exploring new ideas and experimenting with creative thought ensures that Natasha’s paintings grow with her passion to enjoy a long and fruitful career. Natasha’s work is currently published world-wide in open and limited editions by International print publishers and her originals are, as a result, extremely sought after.
