Hello my dear friend, hello from beautiful Florida!
This is where I am currently at and keep getting inspired to create.
I have been living here for two years and met the love of my life, Eric Anderson. Prior, I have lived in California for 13 years. Before that, I have been grown and was raised in Ukraine. I do speak Russian though.
From where ever you are now I will take you now into my world where my paintings come to life through the brush I hold.But before you go into the wilderness of my SUBCONSCIOUS mind you have to know how the journey of me becoming an Artist has begun.
I always loved to draw and paint since I was a child and throughout adulthood, I have always found ways to be creative and experimentative. I never liked to do the same thing over and over again. I guess this is how you know that you have a curious and creative mind and that you are destined to be an artist. So I have been painting and drawing with no particular style till 36; even my mother was telling me that my paintings are child-like. It always made me upset. For God Sake!
A very sad event, however, changed forever my painting style. It made me a True Artist that I always had dreamed about being. My brother, Sergey Belikov, suddenly and unexpectedly passed... I had to drop my painting, singing, and ballet classes that I was taking at that time at a local college to fly to Ukraine for his funeral. I was devastated...I was singing a caring loving sad song ( we have been studying in singing class just prior) in the bathrooms of airports to express my sad emotions...When I flew back to the US I was experiencing anger, sadness, grief, and absence of any desire to moving forward with life. Interestingly, my mom at that time sent me the web link to learn watercolor lessons for free. Without hesitation, I took that opportunity...I learned the techniques of painting with watercolors and fall in love with it. When the technique was learned.. and when I was just playing with watercolors experimenting I found my artist within. It came out to the paper through my inner emotions, my inner world. The painting looked alive and vibrant as if it has its own life.
Since then I do call myself confidently ARTIST because a real artist paints from within revealing the art through her or his eyes.
Review from a friend:
Natalie Belikova's art is unique and very spiritual. It flows with her personality and is very individualized to her style. Natalie both has impressive capabilities in realism, color theory and many various art styles. Throughout the years Natalie's art has evolved in a very unique way. Recently Natalie has been incorporating her natural environment into her paintings. Natalie frequently prefers the use of watercolors and ink to create her compositions. Since she has moved to Florida Natalie has been incorporating sea salt water, sand and other materials from her environment into her art to create beautiful, abstract pieces that capture her care free, fun, loving personality. Natalie's abstract compositions have the power to evoke intense emotion from the viewer.
