Innefable Iceberg Memory Painting

Natalia Chabadova, also known as Natasha Art, is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Newcastle. She was born in Slovakia and has lived in Australia for the last 8 years. Natalia’s first solo exhibition was at the age of 19, and since then she has exhibited in solo and group shows, attended art residencies, and been a finalist in art prizes. Her work is held in private collections in Europe, the USA, Australia, and South America. In 2015, Natalia graduated in marketing communication. During her master's studies at Comenius University, she completed a one-year study of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava under the guidance of Mgr. art. R. Sedlačík, ArtD., and studies of drawings, paintings, and graphics at Charles University in Prague under the guidance of doc. Martin Velíšek, PhD. During her studies, she started supporting younger generations through art and music education, which developed into a variety of art workshops and sound healing therapies with guided meditations helping adults and children in their path of self-discovery, self-development, and harmony. In Australia she held these events in private settings or on different beaches and later in 2023 established an art gallery and studio in Brookvale, Sydney, that was open to the public. In April 2024, she established a gallery in Brazil, which is still operating now. As Natalia spends the year in Australia, Europe, and South America, she produces her body of work in various locations. She occasionally begins painting an artwork in Australia, completes it in Slovakia, then displays it in the Czech Republic, for instance. Through her painting, well-being art and music events, and classes, she is committed to encouraging others to lead happy, balanced lives. Her work is known for its dreamlike use of colour and its capacity to communicate positive messages about the ethereal nature of life, the pursuit of inspiration, hope, harmony, and purpose. She was selected to create a mural on the Bondi Beach Sea Wall by Waverley Council. Numerous magazines and newspapers have published Natalia'art online or in print, and she also illustrated a book of poetry by Dana Janebova.
