The Darkness

Natasha Zraikat is a multi award-winning magical realism artist. She was born in the USA to Jordanian-Palestinian and Russian-Ukrainian parents, before migrating to Australia with her family as a child. 

Natasha is fascinated with the seen and unseen worlds and how the two interconnect. Her current body of work describes her own journey of spiritual growth and awakening. This has been one of the most difficult yet rewarding experiences of her life so far, and she felt called on a soul level to pour this experience into her work and to share it with complete honesty. 

Natasha says, ‘To me, art is a portal to unseen worlds -  an expression of the divine essence within each of us’.

Life seems to stand still as the subject falls deep into her own void within. There is light surrounding her darkness, yet in this moment she has no awareness of its existence, nor can she appreciate the depth and mysterious beauty of the dark night that enshrouds her. Despite being divinely supported by all aspects in this moment, she sees only her pain.
