NATASHA BIENIEK
Born in Melbourne, Natasha Bieniek has been painting for twelve years. Bieniek began her formal artistic training at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2002 where she began to concentrate on figurative painting. Bieniek received substantial recognition when her painting When the music’s over (2006) won the Nino Sanciolo Art Prize, a painting scholarship to study at the Accademia d’Arte in Florence.
Natasha Bieniek's meticulously executed paintings are depicted on a miniature scale. Such intimacy seeks to address the relationship formed between the painting and the viewer. Seen in this proximity, painted details and techniques become more apparent. The nature of paint confounds the eye; the works appear more convincing and realistic than they would in a larger format.
