ARTIST STATEMENT:
As a diary keeper, I have always studied how my identity changed over time. I am not the same person as years ago, and I want to know what exactly shaped this transition.
Through my art I am exploring the alchemy of the human soul and the triggers that form our reality. I use literature, textual archives and diaries to create artworks and installations. Book pages, notes and writings build background in layers to complete the visual image, like puzzle pieces of a personal story.
These collage-like structures reveal fragmented histories shaping our personality. Red threads show complex interconnection between humans and the surrounding world. They are the invisible forces that bend our identity: 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 evolution within our minds.
I see the evolution of consciousness as a necessary condition for personal and collective development. My work aims to stimulate reflection and contribute to this ongoing process.
BIO
Natali Part is an interdisciplinary artist based in Vorarlberg, Austria.
Born in Leningrad in a Russian-Ukrainian family of artists, Natali grew up in her grandmothers bookstore, where the unlimited consumption of unfiltered literature formed her personality and the perception of the world.
After completing her BA in Literature in South Korea (Keimyung University), she worked for Samsung, studied philosophy, world religions, and took part in international volunteer projects.
In 2003, she relocated to Austria, where a period of cultural displacement led her return to artistic practice. 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”. In 2026 she was among the top four finalists for the cover of ART MUSE magazine. Her works are held in private collections in Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, Greece, the Netherlands, Germany, England, the USA, South Korea, Ukraine, and Russia.
All of her artworks are signed and have Certificate of Authenticity.
