Sobre el Artista

Natasha Onufrieva is a visual artist based in Barcelona whose practice encompasses decorative paintings, graphics, design, and fashion. She works with various mediums, including oil, acrylic and digital drawings. Her personal style is deeply influenced by the poster tradition and closely aligned with graphic aesthetics. Natasha Onufrieva was born in 1978 in Moscow, Russia. Since her early childhood she was fond of drawing and painting and developed her skills at an art college, and later in a Higher School of Art, as well as in several professional classes of watercolor, hyperrealism, and abstract art. For a long period, her professional life has been strongly linked with the South of France and Spain where the artist lives today. Natasha’s painting is inspired a lot by the warm and bright colors of the Mediterranean coast, the life at the seaside, filled with the sun and joy. Due to her professional knowledge in marketing, she became a creator of various business projects, always strongly connected with art. Natasha wanted people to not only see art, but to smell and to feel it. So, she organized her own perfume atelier in the South of France and created several women’s fashion collections in silk and cotton with her prints. For a while the main subject of the artist’s investigation was a world of women, their feelings, experiences, rights, inequality, and opportunities. Recently the artist started to investigate her identities and to raise the issue of internal and external, physical, and mental boundaries. In a new series of paintings called “Sweet Robbery”, Natasha explores a widely used marketing strategy to give cute shapes and add colorings to all sorts of substances to increase sales. This fake promise of pleasure and happiness is a “sweet robbery”.  Natasha's artworks have recently been featured at prestigious exhibitions, including the London Art Biennale (2023), Salon des artistes français (Paris, 2023), and the Spectrum Art Fair (Miami, 2022) and an Award winner of 1st Sfumato Art Competition (2023)
