BIO

Nataliia Zevaikina is a metamodernist artist based in France.
She was born in 1985 in Dnipropetrovsk (now Dnipro), Ukraine. She received a degree in architecture from the Prydniprovska State
Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture, where she studied academic drawing, painting, sculpture, and art history.
After several years working in the fields of architecture and design, she found herself at a summer art residency in Yalta. It was there —
in an atmosphere of complete immersion in the creative process — that a profound inner shift occurred: painting became her primary
language of self-expression.
Since 2022, Nataliia has been living and working in France. She continues to evolve professionally, studying at the international Online
School of Art Communication led by Yulia Sysalova.
In her work, the artist explores themes of liminality, threshold states, timelessness, freedom, and emotional landscapes. Her painting
becomes a way to express subtle inner processes, transitions, and moments of transformation.
Nataliia’s artworks are held in private collections in France, the United States, Spain, Belgium, Ukraine, and Cyprus. Among her collectors is a 2021 Forbes Ukraine listee.
ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I am not an external observer — I exist within.
My art is born from personally experiencing transitional states. I am an emotional visionary, creating worlds at the intersection of realities. My practice explores the tension between opposites and the threshold within human existence.
I perceive liminality not as chaos, but as a point of inner awareness — a reflection of the contemporary world, where old systems collapse while new ones are yet to take shape. Humanity lingers in between the past and the future. It is within this void that freedom emerges.
Freedom is one of my core values. I see it as an inner foundation nourished by memory, belonging, and childhood recollections.
I create emotional landscapes embodied through the materiality of color. My works are spaces of silence and slowing down — balancing on the edge of dream and reality. My visual language is built upon empty color planes, minimalism, and multilayered textures. I work with oil paint — a medium capable of conveying the depth of emotion.
Often, I turn to monochrome as a continuation of my philosophy of transition. I also explore complementary colors, emphasizing on the canvas the idea of opposites and their mutual necessity.
The purpose of my art is to awaken in the viewer the awareness of being alive — and free.
