extreme life boost (2020) Photography by Natalja Surikova

Natalja Surikova is a female painter and photographer who explore the features and benefits of various mediums, including spirit ink, matte and iridescent acrylic paint, and modeling paste. In addition to using non-traditional materials, she also uses original tools, using not only brushes and knives, but also sponges of various textures and densities, plastic cards, cotton swabs, crumpled cloth, and even her own fingertips. Some of the paintings are textured and have embedded items such as rhinestones, gems, and sequins. 

Many stylistic elements in the compositions of other artists have influenced her and inspired her creativity. She feels a special connection with the paintings of Claude Monet. She is so deeply attached to his style that she has adopted his technique in many of her own works. 

Natalja Surikova is working and living in Saint Petersburg. She has been studying classical and modern techniques of drawing and painting.  She also attended private classes in person and through webinars from professional artists. She is exhibited internationally and her works are bought by collectors around the world.
