about Natasha
Natasha Mistry creates colourful abstract oil paintings, watercolour paintings, and black and white ink drawings. Natasha's paintings are lively and playful, yet meditative in their complexity. Her work is often untitled in order to let the viewer experience the painting through their own eyes.
In a recent interview, Natasha is quoted as saying "I'm interested in the unconscious mind; the entire universe, from the micro to the macrocosm. There are incredible patterns in nature, meditation and consciousness. People see all sorts of things in my work. I enjoy that."
Her works are abstract expressions of color mixed with emotion. Each painting is an invitation for the viewer to interpret what they see.
Enjoying travel and adventure, Natasha has exhibited her work across the globe; from mainstream art galleries in London and South Korea to far-flung places, deep in the Amazon Jungle.
Natasha's work is featured in corporate and private collections around the world: from Canada, The USA & The UK to Spain, France, Italy and South Korea. She has notable celebrity collectors such as BBC 1's 'Strictly Come Dancing's' Flavia Cacace, entertainment entrepreneur & film producer Kit Hawkins, screenwriter and film producer Meg Leonard, and film/TV actor & chef Jimi Mistry.
Natasha has worked with a variety of clients from Cobra Beer (Cobra Vision Short Film Awards), Drop Music – Inland Knights (The Pollination EP), Ernst and Young, Westminster Council, Boulder Museum Of Contemporary Art and Ravensthorpe Primary School.
Natasha also served several exciting, formative years as an arts educator in South Korea, whereby she created and implemented a groundbreaking art syllabus for 4–12 years old children.
