ARTIST STATEMENT
As a diary keeper, I have always been interested in how personality evolves over time. I am not the same person I was years ago and I constantly reflect on what exactly shaped this change.
Through my art I continue my research on the alchemy of human soul and the triggers that change our reality. In an era shaped by AI-based knowledge, I return to books as fragments and archives of human wisdom. In my works, carefully selected pages from my private library form layered backgrounds behind the central figure, showing traces of accumulated thought.
These collage-like structures reveal fragmented histories that shape individual identity. Red threads show complex interconnection between humans and the world surrounding us. They are the invisible forces that form us: relationships, influences, attachments, control or fate.
I capture the chronotope of the moment when our perception shifts and a new stage of consciousness emerges. My works function as visual diaries of these transitions, tracing a process of transformation within our minds.
I see the evolution of consciousness as a necessary condition for personal and collective development. My work aims to contribute to this ongoing process.
BIO
Natali Part is an interdisciplinary artist based in Vorarlberg, Austria, working in the field of post-conceptual art.
Her practice explores the evolution of consciousness, layered nature of identity and connecting threads through collage-like paintings, and drawings using book pages and texts as narrative framework.
Born in Leningrad in a Russian-Ukrainian family with a strong artistic heritage, Natali has engaged early with visual arts, literature and dance.
After completing her Bachelor of Arts in South Korea (Keimyung University), she worked for a major Korean company, studied philosophy, world religions, and ivolved in international volunteer projects.
In 2003, she relocated to Austria, where a period of cultural displacement led her return to artistic practice. Working with personal diaries, literature and philosophy, she developed her own visual language centered on fragmentation, connection and storytelling. Natali has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and the USA.
In 2025 she was selected as finalist by Artrepreneur in the categories “Women Who Inspire”, “FLASHBACK” and “POLLINATE”. Her works are held in private collections in Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, Greece, Germany, England, the USA, South Korea, Ukraine, and Russia.
All of her artworks are signed and have Certificate of Authenticity.
