Natalia Chaplin

Gold, the eternal object of desire, a symbol of wealth and status. With nods to Fayum and Pre-Raphaelite portraiture, a contemporary Vanitas that plays with fertility and feminine power over the fragility of life.

A love letter to a curious mind, that’s what Natalia Chaplin seeks to capture in paintings rendered mainly in acrylic and oil. Her practise is an evolving web that explores the beauty and impermanence of nature and the human form. She has been commissioned and has private collectors worldwide. She has created animations for local councils and art for Royal Visits to NZ. She holds a Bachelor in Arts and Media and has exhibited in NZ, UK, Venice, New York, and the Royal Scottish Academy of Art.
