Standing as a definitive monument of fine art mixed media artwork, masterfully challenges the static limits of modern portraiture and commercial imagery. Natasha Zupan configures an intricate visual laboratory, taking an archival black-and-white print of Salvador Dalí captured in a serene state of sleep and aggressively subverting it through a collage of raw, transparent film strips. These overlay sheets host primitive, gestural ink line drawings of the surrealist master in mid-expression, fracturing the geometric order of the composition. Floating over an atmospheric watercolor landscape of deep pink and heavy crimson pigment splatters, this multi-layered canvas successfully translates psychological states of desire and myth into a tactile physical presence, rendering it a premier centerpiece for top-tier collections.
 
Natasha Zupan's body of work, 'Homage to Horst P. Horst', explores the manipulation of surface texture, light, and the interweaving of time. She has incorporated found images in books from Horst P. Horst into her collages. Time past and time future are united in a perpetual possibility of change. She tries to capture the resonances of evolution in various types of representation. It is not about translating a world that already exists, but about an entrance into a different universe. A timeless, tactile world of sensation and overlapping memory. Materials and emotions converge: The surface holds synthetic binders consisting mainly of layers of inks, acrylics, watercolors, pigments, photographs from books and digital images. These are imbued with altered states of feelings and archetypal references.
