‘Perfect Stranger’, 2022

‘Perfect Stranger’ is an oil and acrylic painting on gallery canvas. "I’ve been exploring the balance between the abstract and the real;" says Natasha. "It’s surprising how much detail your brain can fill in with just a few vague shapes." Most vivid colors dance on canvas, inviting one to explore the face with a continuous motion. The subject's realistically-depicted eye is staring at the viewer with silent inquisition.

‘The Past Inside The Present’, 2022

Natasha's first work of 2022, this painting is an abstract portrait of a woman. Her right eye is painted with realistic attention, but the rest of the work is done with brilliant bright strokes of saturated color. The artist is taking her mosaic color approach further with bigger, decisive brush strokes. One is almost overwhelmed with the brightness of paint choices; the radioactive teal in her left eye, the neon orange of her right cheekbone — they are almost hard to look at. Your eye keeps traveling around the face, following the angles and curves created by the swing of the artist's arm. The colors overall are bright and happy, almost child-like, yet the woman's eye looks at the viewer with wistful melancholy. Done at the peak of Covid-19 pandemic in early January 2022 Northern California.

‘Change Is Good’, 2020

Painted during October-November 2020, this painting represents hope. With election and artist’s personal life transitions, the painting reaffirms the necessary need for change, even tough it often comes with challenges and fear of the unknown — hence the deliberate choice of a highly textural canvas. Letting the paint flow where it may in some areas, while directing it with decisive precision in others, is a reaffirmation to use change as opportunity to turn something difficult into something positive. This work plays with warm and cool colors balancing them in perfect harmony. The heavier weight of the blue pushes into the background as the warm pops of orange and red move to the center of focus.

‘California Gold’, 2018

This oil painting was created in September of 2018 from a real scene by the Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve in San Jose, California. The lone oak stands still in the dried golden brush under the harsh California sun. Beautiful yet fragile scene. Painted right around the Californian fire season — for this work Natasha developed her own technique where oil paint is showing cracking multiple places around the canvas, conveying the beauty of nature, and the fragility of life.

'Dali’, 1990s-2021

This work is Natasha's collaboration with her own younger self. The original oil portrait study she painted back in mid 90s in Ukraine was brought onto a 2021 canvas here in the United States, where Natasha added surrealistic paint drips that melt into the face of the famous artist. "Dalí lived in Monterey, California for about 7 years." says Natasha. "He created between 10 and 15 paintings a year in his California period, many of which rank among his finest and most adventurous works. I felt inspired by Dalí since a young age — it’s amazing to think I now live just a few miles away from where he lived and worked on his art."

'Stay Calm’, 2020

Last painting Natasha created in 2020, it captures the year's chaotic nature of 2020 with its deliberate choice of a highly textural canvas. The chaos happening on the canvas is soothed by the colors Natasha chose, and the painting has a beautiful cooling effect. Main stage is given to three main colors; the warm pops of orange and green act a focal point.

‘Lola’, 2020

Painted in November of 2020. “The year 2020 has made me paint a lot faster, with more quick decisive brushstrokes. 2020 — the year of global pandemic — showed us that life is precious, and no time should be wasted”, says Natasha. ‘Lola’ is about raw energy; it is about movement, color, texture and emotion. The woman in the painting is confident, strong, determined, urban. Bright blocks of color, accompanied by graffiti-like paint drips bring this painting to life, while highlights of bright blue add electric energy to the overall work. This work was inspired by people and art seen around the city of San Jose, California, as well as the entire San Francisco Bay Area.

‘August Moon’, 2020

Painted in August of 2020, around the start of Californian fire season. Between August 14 and August 16, Northern California was subjected to record-breaking warm temperatures. August 2020 marked the start of a series of 650 lightning wildfires in Northern California. Soft colors seen in this painting are created by the mixing of blue clouds and pink smoke in the air. Realistic moon with its dark spot is the single focus of the work, remaining the one calm and untouched by the events.

‘Ode to Frida’, 2020

"Most colorful and vidid painting portrait of Frida Kahlo, the way I see her" says Natasha. The portrait, with its pops of every color of the rainbow is set against a deep forest green background. You can spot a hammer and sickle in Frida's earrings — a nod to her involvement with communist party and being romantically involved with Trotsky. Painted in the color blocking technique Natasha has developed over the years.

‘The Moment of Zen’, 2021

Whirlwind of movement and color heavily infuse this work. All shades of blue with one deep burst of cobalt are met with a single pop of primary orange in the middle of the work. The painting pulls and pushes the eye in an endless dance of raw energy. Is it an ocean wave, crushing in a rage of a storm? Or pool of primordial liquids, moments after the big bang? Or maybe these are thoughts and memories of an unnerved mind, trying to calm itself down. A cluster of dramatic realistic clouds are visible at the top left.

‘Santorini’, 2018

Big decisive brush strokes of blue, white, ochre, and red populate this work with gusto. One of Natasha's earlier oils, painted at a time where she was developing her own color blocking technique, and her process can be seen in this work very well. At first the work looks busy, but the moment one's eye starts following the scene one's overjoyed by the serenity of the sea, warmth of the city, and calmness of the sky. A single blue-domed Greek orthodox church creates a single focal point — Natasha's trademark — near the center of the painting.

‘Everyday Heroes’, 2020

Natasha painted ‘Everyday Heroes’ at the close of the tough year of 2020 during the times of change, rising Covid cases, uncertainty, and fear. The woman surgeon in the painting isn’t based on a real person, rather she was inspired by multiple people and the artist’s imagination. Her eyes look tired yet there is a sense of hope. She stands against a dark background, yet she is turned towards the light. Bold brush strokes and paint drips suggest the tumultuous times, but bright bursts of blue inject positivity. The painting is dedicated to all everyday heroes of 2020 and celebrates all doctors, nurses, factory workers, store clerks, delivery drivers and everyone else continuing going to work while wearing a mask. May all of our everyday heroes be safe.

‘Santa Barbara’, 2020

Natasha painted this acrylic canvas inspired by her road trip to Santa Barbara back in the summer of 2019. A single rowboat, tied at a foot of Santa Barbara's Stearns Wharf, seen gently swaying in the calm turquoise waters. The boat, painted in the same colors as the waters of the Pacific Ocean, almost disappears into the environment. Its shadows in the water create a soft moving outline.

The painting was donated to Art Collection at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto in summer of 2022.

Last Portrait of 2021

Natasha has worked on this portrait study on and off for the last two months of 2021, painting over parts where she tried to be too methodical, aiming to be more gestural and capture a more intuitive energy. Mostly acrylic, with a touch of new fluorescent pink oil paint she got as a gift. The almost-accidental flow makes this work come to life.

"Riders On The Storm" lyrics is graffitied in the background of the painting. The painting extends beyond the canvas and spills over to the vintage gilded frame (included) and brings the classic into the modern. Colorful gradient creates a perfect backdrop to a monochrome portrait done in deep blue. The portrait itself is done in oil, and layered with acrylic splatters and spray paint graffiti.

'MXD Media Portrait VI’, 2021

This work is all about the movement. Face of a beautiful woman, rendered with peculiar abstract touches. You start looking at her left eye, then travel down following the round paint shape that's created with much determination. You're then drawn to explore surrealistic paint drops right over the right pupil, spilling down over her face. Hot fluorescent pink makes your eye travel to the left, and whole cycle repeats. Mesmerizing portrait is a great example of few important explorative studies Natasha created in 2021.
