Check out Natasha Zupan’s Artwork

Today we’d like to introduce you to Natasha Zupan.

Natasha, we’d love to hear your story and how you got to where you are today both personally and as an artist.
I was born into an artist Family. My father is a Landscape artist, Bruno Zupan, and as a child we travelled, and lived all over Europe seeking the “perfect” light at 18 I went to Yale and got my degree in Fine Art (BFA.) I returned to Mallorca in ’94, which had been home base since 1967. I have a large studio here in Valldemossa in an old factory. I spend half the year here and the other in NYC. I spend a few weeks a year in Boston for my annual exhibition at Galerie D’Orsay

We’d love to hear more about your art. What do you do you do and why and what do you hope others will take away from your work?
My work is about the juxtaposition of emotion in time, and the confrontation between traditional representation and contemporary subjectivities. This body of work explores the manipulation of surface texture, light and the interweaving of time. Time past, and time future are united in a perpetual possibility of change. I try to capture these resonances of evolution in various types of representation. It is not about translating a world that already exists, but about an entrance into a different universe. A timeless, tactile world of sensation and overlapping memory.
Materials and emotions converge: The surface holds synthetic binders consisting mainly of layers of inks, acrylics, watercolors, pigments, gold, fabrics, wax, photographs, and oil paint. These are imbued with altered states of feelings and archetypal references. I believe in the continuity of historical and intercultural exchanges as a form of communication and association. The spacio – temporal confrontation is about the transience of tangible reality and the illusionary nature of beauty we can hold onto both visually and materially.

What do you think it takes to be successful as an artist?
Success for me is being able to live from your work. I face a blank canvas every day and from it I have been able to create a wonderful life. Of course, being shown in great collections, art fairs and museums is the goal most professional artists aspire to, and some of us get there sooner or later.

Do you have any events or exhibitions coming up? Where would one go to see more of your work? How can people support you and your artwork?
I have a gallery in Boston: Galerie d’Orsay, on 33 Newbury street, and a gallery in Palma Mallorca, PepLLabres Contemporary. Also, my work is on 1st Dibs, My website: natashazupan.com. and Instagram under my name
