This mesmerizing mixed media artwork stands as a definitive visual and conceptual statement within the highly celebrated series Homage to Horst P. Horst by prominent international artist Natasha Zupan. Actively engaging with concepts of time displacement, representation, and memory, the artist constructs a complex tactile universe where materials and raw emotions converge. The one-of-a-kind composition relies on a photo collage with direct artistic intervention, incorporating found book imagery by Horst P. Horst to frame the iconic profile of Jean Cocteau. Zupan masterfully submerges the figure beneath layered synthetic binders of vibrant aqua inks, fluid watercolors, and acrylic pigments that contrast against a historical background of classical colonnades.
 
Natasha Zupan's body of work, 'Homage to Horst P. Horst', explores the manipulation of surface texNatasha 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.
