Peek-A-Boo Artwork

Natalie Dadamio, a native of Upstate New York, earned her BA in Cinema from Binghamton University. Leveraging her past experiences, education, and skills, she creates vibrant, unfiltered mixed-media artworks aiming to impart freedom and expansion into everyday life. As a Mixed Media Abstract Artist, Dadamio relies heavily on intuition and embraces an automatic process. Her approach to abstraction is guided by a desire to transcend the confines of representation, inviting viewers into a world where form, energy, emotion, and meaning coalesce in fluid ambiguity. Color serves as the vibrant heartbeat of her artistic expression. From the bold intensity of fiery warm colors to the tranquil serenity of cool hues, each hue is selected to evoke an emotional response and convey the nuanced complexities of the human psyche. Dadamio uses mixed media materials such as graphite, charcoal, pastel, spray paint, and collage to infuse a palpable sense of presence, the textural interplay between the different elements serve as a physical manifestation of energetic forces that create emotional landscapes. She has been awarded residencies, including one at AIR Studios in Santa Fe, New Mexico (July 2023) through the Jen Tough Gallery, and a forthcoming month-long residency from the Broome County Arts Council in November 2024.
