Who I am, what I do

A verry short introduction to who I am, and what I do
My name is Natascha Mattens. I was 19 years ago born in Aalst, and I lived my whole life in Lede, which is located in Belgium.
Drawing has always been my main interst in life, but also clothes and jewellery, photography,... actually, everything that has to do with visual images.
Now I study printing arts at Sint Lucas in Ghent. I am now in my second year of my bachelor.

I work quite a lot with media based on water like inks, ecoline, aquarelle,.. I work with brushes and pens.
The main theme of my art is baised on identity, selfportraits and my environment. Everything is very close and very recognisable for every human being.
Identity plays a big role in my life, aswell the presence as the absence of it.
My work is also based on choices, the most important thing in life. Every choice you make, draws your life. it can be good, or be bad.Just like every line or ink spot you place on paper. You can't go back to the previous phase. The only freedom that art gives you, is that you can take a new cheat of paper, and start over again. Something I never do, because the nostalgia to start over again in life, will even become bigger.

New art blog

After making two blogs, one for my jewelery, and one for my poetrie, I really think it's time for a blog about the most important thing in my life: my artworks!
Yes, finally! I will try to do my best to keep this up to date.
Many of my works now can be found on my website http://www.artparadise.be

I will probably not upload old works here, but only some works from the past weeks, and ofcourse the new and coming work!
