Natalya Romanovsky
Romanovsky places a lot of emphasis on design. She sees beauty in the
world and sets out to capture it through paintings that stress harmony
between color and form.
When working on her paintings Romanovsky prefers to use traditional
techniques, allowing her work to be enjoyed for her unusual subjects.
For inspiration she draws freely from folk traditions and contemporary
design concepts. The result is an original blend of the ancient and
inexplicable. The combination of gentle and delineated with wild, bold
brushstrokes is further enhanced by etching into the work with the
sharp edge of a wooden skewer. In love with art, Romanovsky often
works late into the night, configuring designs and forms, only to bring
them to life with color in the light of day.
Natalya Romanovsky grew up in Moldova, a country located between
the Ukraine and Romania. As a child she knew she would be an artist,
her talent was noticed by her teacher who told her mother, Give her
brushes and paint and the child will know what to do. Romanovsky has
a constant childhood memory sometimes more like a dream, of a
chance encounter that opened a door and let art into her life. It was
a meeting with an old man, who had a reputation for being lost as a
child and then found in a city far way. To Romanovsky it was as if the
man, Jorg Jonkof, passed something to her and from that point on she
was destined to be an artist.
. In 1993 Romanovsky immigrated to the US, joining her mother in
Cleveland. Moving to America opened a whole new door for the
curious and energetic artist. She found some initial support from a
local gallery and began painting with a new enthusiasm. Working as
much from home as at her studio space Romanovsky feels a constant
creative urge.
Romanovsky's work is well collected and can be seen in many galleries.
