Rebecca Dzartov
Rebecca Dzartov is a mixed-media tattoo and canvas artist from Melbourne, Australia. She has loved drawing since she was a child but fell out of love with it as she started to get older. Once she became a teenager, Rebecca felt that she needed to start again and began a tattoo apprenticeship so she could generate money from her drawings. She soon realized that canvases didn’t complain or have opinions, so she started painting. During 2020, Dzartov started incorporating recycled plastic into her art to create texture and inspire others to use waste in a creative way. Rebecca also has a few visually impaired family members so creating art that they would have the ability to touch was a huge motivation. For Dzartov, using recycled plastic is a spiritual analogy of The Holy Spirit. As a born again Christian, it took her from broken to healed, so that she is now able to help and bless others. In doing so she can recreate her ability to help and bless others through her art by taking trash and turning it into something valuable.

Dzartov creates art to release her control issues and perfectionist tendencies. It is an outlet that helps rid her of the ugliest emotions and makes it something worth looking at. Rebecca’s favorite type of art to create is surrealism. Anything that takes seemingly ordinary objects from reality and distorts them to create something unique has always intrigued her. Artists Salvador Dali and Hieronymus Bosch have inspired her to pursue this type of art further. Bosch’s work, “The Garden of Earthly Delight’s” inspired one of Rebecca’s most recent artworks named “Tia: Velvet Sky.”

God inspires Dzartov to create whatever she makes. As she paints, Rebecca meditates and prays so she is sure to be sensitive to the voice of God. She relies on the voice of God for every little detail in her artwork: color, design, and shading. Each painting has a relating scripture that she writes on the back of it and is a visual representation of that scripture. Rebecca also conducts a lot of research into different studies and will sometimes use those studies as inspiration for her paintings. Her studies range from hair being an extension of our nervous system to water memory and how these studies confirm biblical concepts.

Since completing her first series of paintings in 2022, being apart of 6 gallery exhibitions within the past four months (with the most recent being an international exhibit, Dzartov is interested in and excited to see what God has in store for her artworks.

Currently, Rebecca is working on her “pastel era” artwork, taking things down a notch from her previous moody portrait series and creating art that is more pleasant and inviting in her eyes. These paintings will be more of a visual diary and will represent things she has been dealing with while it is being painted. Her most recent work is named Reuben, after a child that gave her a concussion. This circumstance has been a catalyst for lots a change that has occurred in Rebecca’s life.
