About Nat
Swiss Brooklyn-based Artist Nat Girsberger creates art interpreting the unseen and translating earth omens. Nat visually explores profound themes beyond the edge of perception and words and hints that everyone’s reality may just look a little different. Her intuitive work encourages viewers to connect to their unseen potential – vast as imagined desert dreamscapes – and go beyond what they thought was accessible to them.
Nat was awarded a greencard for extraordinary ability in the arts to work in the United States. She creates for clients such as Universal Music Group, Google and Michaels. Her deck ‘Radiant Wilds Tarot’ was published internationally in 2022 (Rockpool Publishing/ distributed by Simon and Schuster, Red Wheel Weiser) and is being translated into two languages.
New York City exhibitions include a 3-story installation and gallery show at Showfields, the 2018 solo show ‘Close Your Eyes’ at the Storefront Project Gallery, and her 2017 solo show ‘Transient Terrain’ at Ivy Brown Gallery. She’s also exhibited in several group shows, at i.e Yale University, Subliminal Projects, Carrie Able Gallery and many more.
Her work has appeared in various media across the globe, including The Rollling Stone, Vogue, Whitehot Magazine, Hyperallergic, Pitchfork, among various others.
Most recently, Nat has also stepped into the role of curator for venues like Superfine Art Fair and Showfields.
Nat graduated Magna Cum Laude from New York University Gallatin visual communication.

Artist Statement
SHE, THE DESERT. I CALL HER SHE, FOR I AM SHE, BUT SHE IS ALL.
I listen to my internal desert, a vast landscape spanning across the collective unconscious and universe alike, to visualize earth omens and deep layers of being. Artistically adventuring into the infinity of my psyche and the world’s psyche alike, I break the structures that externally limit my inner vastness to visually defy the limits of what we selectively perceive.
I apply an instinctive, ‘automatic’ process of collecting textures, colors and shapes in nature, eventually processing them digitally, creating andillustrating, selecting and arranging. This layered practice reflects unbound possibilities that collapse into a single entity of a piece. It serves as a metaphor for the contained potential and inner multiverse of our beings and the world itself, which need merely be brought to our awareness to be readily accessible.
Like the unconscious, the radiant realms and desert dreamscapes that come to exist know no barriers of what is possible or allowed. A clear mirror of my inner world, the visuals that emerge liberate my conscious experience from the boundaries of rationalism. I attempt to find a place where I can defy gravity and time, and explore our planet and solar system.
The visual outcome is connected to the core of our truly surreal existence, expressing a more satisfying way of existing and a liberation from the boundaries of rationalism. Encouraging the dialogue between ego and what is unknown to it, I aim to express that we are quite capable of embracing our inner multiverse and expansive unconscious. The work navigates our limitless imaginations, while unabashedly tapping into our mystical, ever-changing energy.
