Natalia’s artworks are very distinct with happy subject matter, fresh vibrant colours and energetic brushwork. Typically described as classical figurative art, a legacy from the Renaissance times, her work displays the skill of the Masters that have been professionally handed down through the ages. Her empowering ability to draw any subject confidently, both from life and from imagination, presents itself in a very confident individual style that brings to realisation her personal inspiration in her creative works.

Natalia’s artist’s motto is “Beauty Will Save the World”
