Currently lives and works in Rotterdam, Netherlands.Natalia’s artistic practice is a constant dialogue with the many aspects of existence and aims to find a reconciliation between society, individuals and nature. It aims is to find a common language between these three elements through the feminine medium of embroidery, which characterizes her practice in the strongest way. For Natalia, embroidery is a serious practice: even though its connotation to the female world has always played against it, it’s a specific medium that allows her to combine different materials together and -at the same time- to include an emotional component into the objects through the use of colours and gore aesthetics. The objects she creates through embroidery are made of both organic and artificial materials: polyethylene is her modern canvas, which gets filled with soft cotton and is sealed with woollen thread and polished beads.
