Apples in snow (2021) Schilderij door Natalia Butenko

My artistic journey began in Kazakhstan, where from an early age I felt a deep inner need to express myself through art. Although I did not have the opportunity to receive a formal art education, my passion for painting has remained a constant in my life.A pivotal moment came when I stepped away from my business career and returned to learning — this time through modern methods of online art education. For me, painting is more than a creative process; it’s a meditative state where time fades away and only the line, gesture, emotion, color, and mood remain.

My work often draws upon my inner world — emotions, personal experiences, feelings of loss, the search for balance, and the longing for home. Art is my way of speaking without words, of drawing attention to the quiet beauty in everyday life.Through my paintings, I aim to convey simple yet powerful emotions: joy, wonder, a deep appreciation of nature, and the quiet pleasure of being present. I want viewers not just to see a watercolor — but to feel that beauty surrounds us, often in the most ordinary moments.Today, I continue to study and grow as an artist while painting in the styles I love. Art has become my way of staying fully alive and connected — to myself, and to the world.
