Welcome to My Artistic World!
I’m Natalka Barvinok, an artist with over four decades of experience, exploring the realms of surrealism and impressionism to craft captivating visual narratives. Through my paintings, drawings, crafts, and murals, I aim to transport viewers to worlds where reality and imagination intertwine. Every stroke of my brush or pencil captures the essence of a moment or an idea, weaving a visual tapestry that tells a unique story.
My artistic journey began with a childhood dream of becoming a painter, which materialized after graduating from art college. I found myself teaching at the very art school I once attended, sharing my knowledge and vision with young, budding artists. This reciprocal exchange nurtured creativity and led to accolades in various art competitions, both locally and internationally.
Today, I immerse myself in creating paintings, drawings, and objets d’art that serve as windows into an alternate reality. My choice of subjects stems from my fascination with beauty and emotional connections. Not only do I create my own art, but I also engage in various art events such as face painting and art classes for individuals and families.
