Natalia Slushaieva

Hi, my name is Natalia and I have loved painting since childhood, especially portraits. Over the years, through detailed study of the works of various masters of painting and training in several educational institutions as well as teaching in an art studio, I have gained experience that I apply in my work. When I paint a portrait, I believe that every person is beautiful. I only try to emphasize this beauty. My favorite material...? It's hard to choose one. I like to work with different materials, they are all beautiful in their own way, although I feel more confident working with oil paints. I love the transparency and density of oil, the saturation of the colours and the way and how I like to use different textures; it gives life to the painting. I also love watercolour for its softness and uniqueness. Pastel is something between printmaking and painting for me. I like working with pastel the most when I want to draw a landscape. The fluidity of the shade transitions and the softness of the color combinations allow me to successfully convey pastel. All my work is handmade, original, unique and designed by me, it is not a print or poster. Please note that the colours shown may vary on individual monitors.

Thank you for visiting and have a nice day!
