"Crystal Cave Dragon" Painting

My name is Natalia, and I have been passionate about drawing since early childhood. I loved to draw so much that when I ran out of space on a sheet of paper, I would extend the horses’ tails and legs onto the floor or table. I grew up in a home filled with a vast library of books, where I immersed myself in fairy tales about mystical creatures, castles, and princesses — images that have forever shaped my creative world. In my youth, I attended art school, where I gained a solid foundation in anatomy, proportions, and light and shadow. Over the years, I explored various techniques: watercolor, pastel, sculpting, and even crafting ball-jointed dolls entirely by hand. Although I earned an engineering degree under the influence of those around me, drawing never left my heart. Now, living in Switzerland, I happily share my artworks — each filled with a piece of my soul and a special atmosphere of magic and symbolism. For me, art is a way to touch the wonder of the world and bring it to others.
