Created during my 2 years living in this interesting country, Colombia.
For me, being in a new country is a great chance to explore and accept yourself in a completely new space. Inner contact with the external environment, instants here and now. An analysis of my feelings and constant search for self-expression.
Bogota is a city of contrasts. A mixture of graceful colonial culture, brutal graffiti, chaos, hanging wires cutting through the sky, and the sudden presence of ethnic images among the crowd. Such a melt gives an incredible flavor and dynamism to this city.
For these series, I used pizza boxes. The material for creativity is next to us, creating a closer connection between the creativity in that place and moment of life. It was with pizza boxes that my " TRANZIT " project began.

About Natasha Gavrilova
Natasha Gavrilova (Granata) is a full-time nomad artist, graphic designer, printmaking expert, who has lived and worked in different countries. She is currently based in Madrid, Spain, where she has her own studio for experimenting in freedom. She can't imagine a day without art.
Natasha was born in Russia and after graduating from Omsk Art University in 2000, she worked illustrating designing, and art directing in the fashion industry. In 2006, her life changed dramatically following her emigration from Russia and she decided to fully dedicate herself to art in each of the countries she has living since Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Colombia, and Spain…so far.
Natasha is a multidisciplinary artist working with various techniques from traditional to experimental, combining common raw materials of everyday life such as cardboards and pizza boxes. She also works in the technique of mixed media, using watercolor, ink, acrylic, charcoаl, collage…
Her strong passion is a graphic art and, as a printmaking artist, she does lithography on different surfaces, constantly studying and improving her skills.
Her living style with frequent moving from country to country has a huge influence on her art, very inspired in different cultures, cities, and peoples. Her urban landscapes show that strong emotional connection with the place she is living in that moment in time.
Her motivation is to look for new effects, a new look at the expression of ideas, harmonious combinations of colors, shapes, a rhythm that cannot be repeated. Always looking ahead and going her own way. This is how her project «TRANZIT» was created: A collection of unique works -performed on the cardboard boxes that she used to move to her next country destination- on the first impression of the cities in which she found herself at that particular moment of life. Some kind of diary of an empty box.
