Nataliia Savchenko

Nataliia Savchenko paints atmospheric, evocative landscapes and semi-abstract floral motifs that blur the boundary between observation and imagination.

​

She paints forests cloaked in mist, mountain valleys wrapped in cloud, and flowers bathed in haze. These forms seem to emerge from vapor, as if half-remembered from a dream.

​

Seen from afar, her paintings transport the viewer to distant, faraway lands devoid of human presence, where nature reigns. At once beautiful, suggestive, contemplative, and timeless, they recall the romantic vistas of Caspar David Friedrich and the moody landscapes of Arnold Böcklin. Yet, from up close, Savchenko’s expressive handling of paint comes into focus. Her surfaces are rich with texture, layered through impasto and palette-knife techniques that echo the tactile energy of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, particularly Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne.

​

Her floral pieces exhibit a striking oscillation between abstraction and representation. Petals dissolve into gestural marks, drips, and soft blurs, as if we are encountering them through a veil of fog or memory. The result is a body of work rooted in natural realism, yet pulsating with emotional depth and painterly force.
