ORIENTAL BEAUTY (2021) Colagens por Natali Shepeleva

I was born and live in Siberia. My childhood was spent in a small mining town. In my family, all the men worked as miners. 

The weather is severe and the people are serious, with a big heart, here. The soul that hides under the many roles, masks, and costumes we wear has wonderful virtues. From birth, we are all creators, you just have to try! And of course, we can learn! On the second university degree, I am a psychologist. Psychology helped me to understand myself. It seems to me that it helped me to look and see, to listen and hear, to follow my own feelings! After all, psychology and art are a dialogue of understanding. My new story has just begun! All that was before remained in the past seasons of this beautiful series "Such a wonderful life".

 I've always been creative. At some point, I realized that I just can't be doing without it… This is the case when you do your own thing, not even because you want to, but simply because you can't not be doing it. And in every picture – a piece of me, my love for life, my inner colours, shades and halftones. I make them in the language of the soul, I make them with my hands, I feel their smells in me, I think about them, even when I sleep, I feel their taste on my lips! This is happiness! And I want to share this happiness with you! All my works are full of energy that you will definitely feel, full of a smile that (I know for sure) will appear on your lips! I created a series of works in 2021 "BURDEN" (GOLDEN ... DAZZLING... BLINDING... SUNNY...), which is united by its own characters. All of them are successful, they have left their mark in art, in hearts, in time. I wanted to show you that you can't do something really big without paying for it! And under the external gilding, there are often many more different colours and shades.

 All my works are multi-layered and multi-valued. They are filled with meanings that are not always noticeable at first sight. Put the picture at a different angle to the light, let the sun illuminate it differently, and you will see what was invisible! This can be an inscription on the edge of the canvas or material and technique that gives a link to something important. I like to use the Mixed Media technique in my work because, for me, it means having the freedom to use different materials and combine sometimes incongruous ones. I made all my paintings with love and sympathy for my characters, with the desire to understand them and feel them… I hope it worked out, and then you will also spend time remembering and thinking about them.

I appreciate your attention, thanks!
