Natasha Zraikat
Natasha Zraikat is a magical realist oil painter based in Australia's Gold Coast / Yugambeh Country. Born in California to Jordanian-Palestinian and Russian-Ukrainian parents, Natasha migrated to Australia with her family as a child where she has lived ever since.
Natasha has a deep interest in environmentalism, humanitarianism and storytelling and these themes underpin much of her work. She strives to bring deeper meaning and positive change to the world through her paintings and their stories, while also using her art as a vehicle to explore her emotions around her own identity.
Natasha is fascinated with nature, humanity and how the two interconnect. She uses allegory in her work to represent various parts of her psyche and how she perceives reality, exploring the human experience and our intrinsic connection to our natural surroundings.
Natasha's work has been exhibited and collected across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the USA and the UK.
