Natalie Bini, born in Israel in 1995, Ramat Gan, where I currently live and work.
I have been drawing for the entirety of my life. Creating was a non-negotiable portal to understand myself, and the world. As a self-taught artist, my practice includes mostly color pencils, acrylic and alcohol markers, with varying substances like coffee and oil painting.
What appears in my work is the tension between the living and the structural, between fragility and inevitability; when something living is deconstructed into shape, Precision becomes revelation. I am drawn to decomposition as a method of understanding -decoding the fundamental components that create the whole; the system. investigation of structure and movement. These figures carry the vulnerability of the living, but they are constructed through code— geometry; fragmentation. The “beings” are not the subject — they are vessels. They carry a fragility, and the weight of being alive. I call this tension, this dynamic ‘Kinetic Wars’ — a collision between ego and motion, between human conflict and forces that exist beyond us. War is human. Kinetics is not. Form continues regardless.
Growing up ,I found an early admiration and enchantment toward and from animals; A lifelong devotion to non human creatures — this has deepened when I became vegan at 16; I had gained a better understanding into the fragility, innocence and authenticity incoded in them. I had observed their slow existence, juxtoposing the fast pace living, violence and intensity embedded in humanity-the forgetfullness of our own mortality; In contrast to non human animals , carrying presence without performance.
