Natallia Lapko

Artist of city stories, moments, and impressions.

I don't pick ideas for my new paintings. Ideas choose me and demand to be drawn.
I'm traveling from city to city, from person to person, from story to story in search of beauty and aesthetic emotions. And my role here is to observe and catch the mood and energy of each city on my way, to collect these magical moments of contemplation and slow down, to share my impressions with the world.
In each painting, the main acting character is the spirit of the city, the rhythm of his life. I like to immerse in the energy of different places and watch people living in these cities and creating their unique stories against the background of city streets and cafes. People are a mirror of the city, and the city is a reflection of the people living in it.
