Natalia Davydova

Natalia is a Russian-born, Athens-based multidisciplinary artist. Raised in Saint Petersburg, she was surrounded by beauty from an early age, which naturally shaped art as her lifelong passion. With a pedagogical background, Natalia has worked extensively with children and continues to teach art as part of her artistic practice.
Since 1999, she has been living and working in Greece. Between 2014 and 2019, Natalia studied academic painting and drawing at the art studio of Lazaros Ktenidis, a graduate of the Saint Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts.

Her artworks are held in private collections across Europe, North ...
