Natasha Tripathi, a painter born in Brooklyn to immigrant parents, began her artistic journey at 15, initially seeing painting as a passing interest. However, what started as a teenage passion became a lifelong pursuit. After earning a degree in Art and Journalism from Rutgers University in 2016, Natasha worked in publishing with institutions like Sotheby's and The New Yorker, while continuing to paint and exhibit her work in New York City. Natasha still felt drawn to her artistic practice and left publishing to pursue an M.F.A. from the New York Studio School in 2021.
In her paintings, Natasha Tripathi seeks to deconstruct and rebuild her origin story through investigating her story and the concept of the self. At the core of her work is the archetype of feminine energy, and its manifestation through time, space, and nature. This fascination with the force of creation and destruction began in her childhood, growing up in a Hindu household, and continued as she discovered that this energy transcends humans and exists in everything.
