Natalia Lugovska

Natalia Lugovska (b. 1969, Zaporizhia, Ukraine) began her creative journey long before she held a brush. As a child, she invented patterns, sewed clothes, experimented with macramé and even shoe design — always searching for forms that could express the unseen. Her path to painting was not accidental but rather inevitable: it became the language through which she could transform fleeting impressions into lasting symbols.
From 2010 to 2012, she studied at the Repin Art School with the Honored Artist of Ukraine, Alexander Lysenko, and later deepened her practice in the studios of Ukrainian artists. These years gave her technical mastery, but her true artistic voice was born at the intersection of photorealism, symbolism, and surrealism.
Lugovska’s paintings often start from her own photographs, then undergo a transformation — fragments are altered, colors shifted, perspectives reimagined. The result is not an imitation of reality but a new, heightened world, where fragile beauty becomes eternal.
Her works have been exhibited internationally, including at Kiev Art Week (2019, Zenko Gallery), the 58th Venice Biennale (2019, Giardini project “Falling Shadow: Dreams in the Gardens”), and the exhibition “Exploring the Power of Womanhood” ...
