ABOUT NATALIE

Natalie Uhrik is an Australian artist whose dynamic paintings capture the essence of energy, spirit, and nature. Born in 1979 and based in Sydney, she holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts, majoring in Ceramics, from Sydney College of the Arts. Her artistic journey has spanned multiple disciplines, but since 2020, painting has become her primary focus.

Deeply inspired by past travels, especially along the Croatian coast, Natalie infuses her work with memories of landscapes and a sense of place. Her process is intuitive, guided by music and emotion, allowing layers of color and movement to emerge organically. Repetitive marks create a rhythm in her compositions, evoking both motion and stillness in a harmonious balance.

Spirituality plays a significant role in her creative practice. Through abstract forms and fluid gestures, she channels a connection to divine energy, aiming to instill a sense of calm, gratitude, and optimism in the viewer. Her paintings reflect a deeply personal yet universally resonant exploration of inner and outer worlds.

With a strong presence in the Australian art market, Natalie’s work is also collected internationally. Her paintings continue to evolve, reflecting her ever-deepening connection to nature, intuition, and the unseen forces that shape our experiences.
