Natalia Shaykina

I am Natalia, a professional oil painter specializing in classical realism. My work explores the structure of natural forms and the way light defines their presence.

Rooted in the Dutch and Italian traditions, I use a meticulous layered oil technique to build depth, tonal harmony, and lasting richness. In my still lifes, botanical subjects are approached as living forms — observed through precise light, texture, and subtle color transitions.

My landscapes focus on atmosphere and space: mist, filtered sunlight, and the quiet rhythm of the countryside. I aim to create paintings that invite contemplation and offer a sense of stillness.

Each work is crafted with attention to balance, material integrity, and longevity. My paintings are held in private collections worldwide and are appreciated by collectors who value careful craftsmanship and the enduring presence of original oil painting.
