Art of Ukrainian-born American contemporary artist Natasha Kramskaya
Natasha’s art focuses on empathy, cultural identity, and fragility of life. She is moved by intensity of color, by interplay of light and shadow, and by depth, texture and patterns which compose our world.
Ukrainian-born American contemporary artist Natasha Kramskaya started painting at a young age. She grew up exploring the nature and history of the ancient Black Sea region and developed a profound curiosity and love for the heritage and life around her. At the turn of the century, she moved from Ukraine to the US where she graduated from the San Francisco Academy of Art University and begun working as a creative director, painting alongside.
Natasha’s art focuses on empathy, cultural identity, and fragility of life. She is moved by intensity of color, interplay of light and shadow, and depth, texture and patterns which compose our world. Natasha works with acrylic, oil and mixed media. She’s developed her own technique where she paints with wide visceral brushstrokes, sometimes applying paint directly from a tube. Most of her work is both realistic and abstract at the same time.
Natasha’s art has been published by several magazines including San José’s Content and La Raiz. She is the selected artist for the San Francisco General Hospital Hearts project. She's been featured in multiple online galleries including Saatchi and Singulart. Natasha’s work has showed in dozens of exhibits in galleries around the San Francisco Bay Area and the Pacific Northwest, and her art can be found in collections across the United States, as well as internationally.
