Fragile. OLKA Painting

Natalie Reyne is a Los Angeles-based artist who is known for creating beautiful pieces that tell stories through the canvases. Born in 1989 in Krupki, Belarus, Natalie received a higher education in economics. Her last profession was as a designer of websites and mobile applications. Despite her work in design, Natalie always felt the desire to express herself creatively. However, the lack of a classical academic education prevented her from pursuing art for many years. After visiting numerous contemporary art galleries and museums around the world, Natalie realized that the message conveyed through art is more important than academic performance. This realization prompted her to pursue a career in art. In all her works, Natalie seeks to express her thoughts and emotions in response to events happening in her life, both past and present. In 2020, after actively participating in protests and spending 12 days in jail, Natalie was forced to leave her country due to fears of criminal prosecution and imprisonment. Subsequently, her fears became a new reality. Prior to leaving Belarus, Natalie took part in different fairs and group shows and participated in the Autumn Salon with Belgazprombank. She also did political street art and street-art projects against war. In 2021, Natalie moved to America, where she continues to express herself through her art. Her paintings each have their own unique story, and she has participated in several charity art shows in 2021-2022. In 2023, she took part in LA Fashion week, the Parallax Art Fair, and group shows in the Laguna Art Gallery in California and the Jones Art Gallery in Kansas City, MO. Natalie's work reflects her inner life, emotions, and feelings, and her pieces are a testament to the power of art to convey meaningful messages.
