Natalia
Surikova

"Just accept reality, sweeten it up, and dress it up in your dream dress."

Natalia was born in Russia, the city of St. Petersburg. She discovered her new passion for painting in 2015. Since then she has been studying classical and contemporary drawing and painting techniques. She has also attended private classes in person and through webinars by professional artists.

In creating her work, she has explored the features and benefits of different mediums, including alcohol ink, matte and acrylic paint, and modeling paste. In addition to using non-traditional materials, she also uses original tools, using not only brushes and knives, but also sponges of various textures and densities, plastic cards, cotton swabs, crumpled fabric and even her own fingertips. Some paintings are textured and have embedded elements such as rhinestones, gems, and glitter. Many stylistic elements in other artists' compositions have influenced and inspired her work.

She uses her art as a way to express her feelings, thoughts and mood while creating. She loves to recreate any living form because of her endless admiration for nature and the endless ways she interprets and represents different forms of life. For her, many of nature's creations are so authentic and alive that I she wants to reflect the inner harmony they bring to her paintings. Whenever she feels she needs a distraction, she goes for a walk in the nearest forest or park. She loves the outdoors. After a change of scenery, she returns to her studio and feels like she needs to do more. She is always looking for new experiences and ideas, traveling to different places. She has visited over twenty countries. The many fascinating cultures, landscapes and atmospheres she has seen have always given her new perspectives, inspired and inspired her creative ideas. The main reason for her creativity, besides her desire to express herself and share her emotions with others, is the pleasure and awe that her art evokes. She wants to bring more joy to herself and others.
