Natalia Kovaleva

I paint in the style of symbolism and through this direction in painting I open up an unlimited space. My paintings are a philosophical understanding of life around, the search for hidden meanings and a journey in the universe.

I create my works in mixed media. I don't do preliminary sketches, because how can you go on a journey, where I have never been before, by drawing it in advance? This is a special state comparable to flight. This allows me to discover new unusual solutions for working with color and light. This is how I best come to my subject in the picture.

The most beautiful thing in my opinion for an artist in painting is to see what is not there when it is. Depict what comes to life in the space of endless color spots. Extract a deep image hidden from the eyes and make it real.

She was born on March 7, 1991 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur (Khabarovsk Territory).

She graduated from the Art School with honors. In her native city, she received her higher education at KnAGTU, studied at the Faculty of Humanities.

The further path as an artist developed independently, even after graduating from school she began to delve into her own thoughts and ideas, looking for the most suitable figurative language of painting, trying different drawing techniques.

My paintings are a deep understanding of myself and the world around, the desire to step beyond the unknown.
