Crocuses (2018) Peinture par Natalia Kutova

Natalia Kutova is a self-taught artist living in San Diego, CA. She was born and raised in Ukraine and came to the USA in 2006 as a Fulbright scholar. Natalia is a person with many interests. She earned her B.A. in Music, M.A. in Linguistic, and Ph.D. in Education, wrote several books, and participated in numerous conferences all over the world. But, she has never painted. Never, until 2017, when she visited Sausalito, a charming town just across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and saw heavy textural impasto paintings in one of the town art salons. Natalia was impressed. It was like an insight with a clear message that she also wants to paint like that. Then Natalia started to paint. Her passion in painting became so strong that she decided to quit her successful teaching career to devote all her time to painting. Now Natalia Kutova works in her studio in San Diego, CA as a full-time artist. Her message to the world is: "Never2Late”. She hopes that her experience in painting will be an inspirational message to everybody that it is never too late, no matter how old you are, to be whom you want to be, to get started on a new path to success,  and to live your dreams.

Natalia works primarily with a palette knife and acrylic paint. The main subject of her paintings is flowers and trees which are extrapolated from the reality and reconceptualized in her painting to the level of visual metaphors expressing a certain meaning. That meaning sometimes is more explicit, sometimes less, deliberately encouraging the viewer’s free interpretation and letting each viewer to have a different personal experience in perception of her artworks.
