Natalja Mischenin-Blaschke

The inspiration for my artistic work comes from nature. My painting is an attempt to capture the interplay of color and light found in landscapes. I am interested in both muted, almost monochromatic color and light conditions, as well as impressions characterized by contrasts.

I primarily paint with acrylics on canvas, using palette knives and brushes. The painting process is an essential part of my creative work. It begins with a vague idea, a conception of light and color, develops its own dynamic during the painting process, follows no linear progression, gains more and more form with each layer of paint, and ultimately culminates in the finished artwork.
