 Natalia Andreeva
emerged
as an artist from the rich and fertile artistic climate of Novosibirsk, in
Siberia after graduating from it's most prestigious art college. During her
classical education in the canons of European art she was greatly influenced by
eastern philosophy. Consequentially, Natalia's work is a harmonious marriage
between spontaneous expressions and classical realism.
Among Natalia's favorite themes are exquisite landscapes, depicting the subtlety of nature, still life, where vibrant shapes and internal dynamics are shown in contrast to the commonplace subjects, and finally, figures and portraits brimming with humanity, and giving testament to the beauty and harmony of the human condition. |
