She often participates in Russian and international exhibitions.
Nataly was born in 1977, in Moscow, USSR. She graduated the university in 1999.
She devoted 15 years of my life to international business and established her own company. She fluently speak English and German. Nataly started painting in 2016 and absolutely fell in love with it. Last years she moved to the country house, where she organized her own commodious and comfortable studio.
Nataly studied in Architecture and Design Academy Moscow, Russia, Course of Academic Art (drawing and painting), also takes lessons from the best pastel artists.
She explored different types of drawing and painting materials, before she realized that soft pastel is the best medium. It helps her to create the tiniest lights and shadows, and makes paintings airy and light. Besides, Nataly is a very tactile person, and she creates all her art works with her fingers, putting light strokes with chalk pastels.
Since her sources of inspiration are nature and ancient architecture, she loves plein air painting. It is the feeling of the present moment that helps her to express her joy and excitement from landscapes or items that catch her eye and inspire her.
she also enjoys painting still-life art pieces in her studio. Every work is born spontaneously. Sometimes, the display begins with a single object that touched her soul (pumpkins in the shop-window, a flower bud, or an ancient vase), and the other ones are used as a background for “the main character”.
