Natasha Sokolnikova – Artist Profile

I am Natasha Sokolnikova, a Moldova-born artist currently based in Munich, Germany. From an early age, I felt a compelling need to create, leading me to explore art, dance, and languages as expressions of beauty in all its forms.

I studied at the School of Fine Arts “Alexei Sciusev” in Chisinau, and later graduated from the University of Humanitarian Knowledge. My artistic approach blends classical training with a deeply personal vision, shaped by my love for travel and the diversity of global cultures. These experiences continually inspire my understanding of contemporary art trends.

My work revolves around themes of love, female identity, and the emotional power of color. I am drawn to the silent connection between humans and nature, particularly expressed through floral and animal motifs. To me, flowers embody the quiet yet profound soul of femininity, while animals represent an unspoken bond with the natural world.

The creative process transports me beyond the physical realm, where space and time lose meaning. I treasure the moment when a painting transcends technique and takes on a life of its own, radiating energy and forming a unique dialogue with its viewers. My greatest wish is for these works to find new homes, where they can continue their journey of connection and inspiration.

My art is held in private collections across the USA, Canada, Japan, the UK, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, Moldova, and more. I am honored to have represented Moldova in the international project Reflections for Change and to be the first Moldovan artist included in the Lunar Codex Project. My painting "Crystal Chimes" will be part of the Polaris Collection, scheduled to land on the Moon by 2024 as part of a historic time capsule.

Languages: English, Russian, Romanian, Ukrainian, and currently learning German.
