Piece description from the artist
"Introspective" is one of the main paintings that opened up a new theme for me. As I was working on it I realized how much it felt like I was pouring myself into the painting and others I'd been working on. It felt like a reflection of me onto the canvas and a lot of my work had been feeling this way even though the pieces can look so different. That's when I started to think deeper about my headspace while painting and how it affects the work. Since then, introspection has played a large part in my process.
Samantha Natarian, formerly Samantha Smith, is a Baltimore, MD based painter working in a form of contemporary abstract expressionism. Samantha received her BFA in Painting from Maryland Institute College of Art. While working primarily with paint & wet media, Samantha also incorporates other materials like pastel & crayons into her work to create texture. Her current source of inspiration stems from color, light & opacity, as well as a theme of self-discovery and reflection. Samantha aims to create a sense of depth in her two-dimensional paintings through the use of repetition, transparency and layering of mark-making. Her current body of work is based on experimentation and spontaneity where each mark she applies to the painting informs the next without prior intention.
