Natallia Beliayeva

Natallia Beliayeva is a Polish-based figurative painter working in oil, watercolor and acrylic. A graduate of the Belarusian State Academy of Arts and a member of the Union of Polish Artists (ZAP), she combines academic training with psychological depth and strong painterly presence.

Her practice moves between two complementary directions. In the series Anatomy of Fear, Beliayeva explores emotional tension, vulnerability and the subtle mechanics of inner states. Through realistic portraiture, controlled distortion and expressive texture, she examines how fear, anxiety and suppressed emotion reshape perception.

Alongside her conceptual work, she creates hand-painted interior artworks — portraits, still lifes, floral compositions and atmospheric scenes designed for hotels, restaurants, offices and private spaces. Her paintings are characterized by physical texture, structural composition and a refined control of light and color. Each work is created manually, with attention to material quality and longevity.

Beliayeva has presented her work in solo and group exhibitions in Poland, and her paintings are held in private collections across Europe. She currently lives and works in Szczecin, Poland.

In 1998 enrolled at the Gomel State Art College at the Department of Painting. In 2003, she
entered the Belarusian State Academy of Arts, Department of Furniture Design.
