Dr Natalia Jezova is awards wining, multidisciplinary artist based in London. She communicates through a wide variety of media, including painting, film, photography and installation. Her art addresses cultural memory, identity and gender issues. In all her projects, Natalia employs metaphorical or symbolic language. She mixes classical and modern aspects; blur the lines between imagination, reality and memory. A few years ago, Natalia's vision began to deteriorate drastically. She now sees only blurred, overlapping silhouettes - a constant double vision effect that redefined how she perceives the world. Rather than retreat, Natalia choses to explore this new visual reality through her art, adopting superimposition as a central technique: layering multiple images to reflect how she now processes visual information. Superimposition allows Natalia to embed multiple messages within one work, where meaning is constructed through metaphor, memory, and semiotic association. Two images form a third, symbolic one, encouraging the viewer to think, remember, and feel. Natalia's latest project, Dialogue, explores the intersection of past and present, reinterpreting historical themes of gender inequality and the female role in society through a contemporary lens. These themes remain relevant – not only in historical contexts, but also in contemporary life. In this series, Natalia superimpose iconic Old Masters paintings with self-portraits interwoven with elements of floral still life. The recurring motif of flowers and the female figure symbolises two intertwined forces - both nurturing and life - giving - offering a poetic reflection on strength, femininity, and transformation.
