Natalia Teresina paints worlds that straddle imaginative and actual space, enveloping the viewer in a blanket of someone else’s reality. She celebrates and scrutinizes the subjects of her artwork, often by displaying tangible, personal objects which interact with the subject and the space alike. Acrylic, the primary medium used by Natalia, allows her to work intuitively and quickly, making for more energetic and painterly visions which hold that raw energy of motion and emotion. Experimentation is imperative to the creation process of every piece, and final outcomes are as random as they are intentional. Dream-like visions and the uncanny appear as common threads in her work. Warped yet balanced compositions, corporal textures, and lush color bring otherwise unrelated objects into conversation with each other—telling stories of bereavement, attachment, and ongoing conflicts. The story-telling aspect of her work simultaneously holds child-like whimsy, creating a paradox between aesthetic and subject matter. The clash between the beauty, the uncanny, and the unnerving in her work are pinnacle, highlighting the complexity of human memory and emotion.
