Natalya Pravda

Natalya Pravda was born in 1986 in Ukraine. In 2009 graduated from the Pridneprovskaya State Academy of Construction and Architecture. After graduation from the academy she continued her education, honing her skills in painting and sculpture. Earlier she worked a lot with bas-reliefs and monumental painting, but after some time she decided to devote herself completely to painting. Currently, Natalia lives and works in Dnepr, Ukraine.

Natalia is an artist who experiments with different techniques and source materials to create her works. Her images range from abstract to figurative; they often contain literal or indirect references. Despite all the possible similarities, Natalia encourages a more open reading of her work, warning that: "We have the ability to read things, to read everything in what we understand. The purity of color and its interaction with the canvas shows the quiet revelation that I try to convey in my works.

I try to let the painting create itself, to create the conditions in which it will grow, become something. I don't build the painting brick by brick, like you would make a brick wall, but more create the conditions and let anything happen, and suddenly it happens.

I rely a lot on the nature of the materials I use, so, sometimes it's really an exploration. It's like you go into a space where you've never been before and discover things that you didn't know were there. It's more and more interesting to me.
