Natalie Hirschman
Painter South Africa 1976
Natalie Hirschman graduated with honours in fine art printmaking and anthropology.
She transitioned from printmaker to oil painter because of the luscious feel of the medium.
Natalie has travelled extensively with her sketchbook and plein air gear, creating a visual record of her journeys not only to Europe, but years spent in India and South America. Her love of the human condition drove her inexorably towards figurative painting and portraiture. Her fascination and work with plant medicines, fantasy and archetypes prompts her work to reveal small hints of the magical worlds she allows her mind to explore.
A romantic at heart, her paintings display a quest for beauty. Whether this is masculine or feminine, urban or natural, it is a romance that almost rebels against the post modernism she was exposed to at university.
Natalie is involved with various South African art societies, both as a participant, and as an art judge and teacher. She has exhibited in numerous South African shows, and has been a finalist in international competitions such as “Figurativas” at the Meam in Spain, and the portrait society of Americas “Select 50”. She has also been a finalist in online competitions such as receiving the “Boldbrush award” in September 2022; receiving best figurative work in the Plein Air Salon, November 2022, and being one of 9 winners in the famous British show “Portrait Artist Of The Week”. (A spinoff of “Portrait Artist Of The Year” 2021)
She currently lives and works from Cape Town, South Africa
