The Horse: A Celestial Symbol of the Year 40х50cm acrilic (2025) Pintura por Natalya Popovtseva

Natalia Popovtseva is a Russian artist whose unique journey from psychology to art infuses her work with profound inner meaning.

She specializes in hyperrealism, creating large-scale canvases with acrylics, texture paste, and gold leaf, often limiting her palette to the powerful combination of black, red, and white. Her works—whether landscapes, sacred geometry, or contour drawings—strive not merely to depict, but to convey a sense of the viewer's full immersion within the painting.

Natalia explores themes in series, using different materials and perspectives. Her art is born from dreams and internal insights, and her mastery of neurographics adds a therapeutic quality to the creative process.

The artist's main goal is to show that the world around us is already perfect and beautiful in its natural harmony, and her paintings invite the viewer to see and feel this beauty.

"I find inspiration in life itself, in all its manifestations: the vast expanses discovered on road trips with my family, the sincere emotions of my son, and the magic hidden in the ordinary. My art is an attempt to capture a moment and reveal the perfection of a world that needs no improvement or correction—only the ability to see it.

In my work, I combine the power of hyperrealism with the tactile magic of texture paste and the shimmer of gold leaf. The paste gives my images a physical, tangible reality, while the gold leaf becomes an inner light that reveals the magic in every narrative. This synthesis creates an effect of complete presence, inviting the viewer to step into the painting.

My ideas are born from impressions, dreams, and dialogues, taking shape through a search for imagery and modern tools. My final touch is the glow of gold leaf, which, sealed with varnish, preserves this magic for centuries. I believe that art is a bridge between an inner feeling of harmony and the external, already perfect world."

P.S. I’m open to bold experiments! Want gold leaf or textural paste? Even bolder ideas? Let’s discuss! No idea is too bold—only those not yet embodied.

Warmly,
 Natalia Popovtseva
