Transparent compensation, always.

Samantha Natarian, a Baltimore-based painter and MICA alumna, explores the boundaries of abstract expressionism. Her practice centers on the interplay of color, light, and opacity, using these elements as a lens for self-discovery and reflection. Working primarily with wet media, Natarian integrates pastels and crayons to build tactile surfaces. Her process is rooted in spontaneity; she employs layering, repetition, and transparent marks to create a sense of depth where each gesture informs the next without prior intention.

Visual voice

Natarian’s aesthetic is defined by a rhythmic layering of marks and a sophisticated use of transparency. Her work balances the fluidity of wet media with the raw texture of dry materials, resulting in compositions that feel both experimental and deeply reflective.
