ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Artist´s description: Original painting by Nataliia Schoebel. “Souls of the Earth” series The idea of creating this series appeared quite by chance, during my spontaneous meditation. I lay with my eyes closed having a rest after a hard working day. Neither thought nor sound around disturbed me. For a while I enjoyed the silence. All of a sudden, I noticed a bright dot appear in the distance. I watched it grow and approach me. All at once, other multiple spots of light began to appear in space, all of them slowly floating on me. Gradually, the very first point began to take shape. Much to my surprise, an elephant arose out of that cosmic darkness, the energy of love, peace and tranquility embodiment. Following him, the other spots began to reveal themselves. They already stood in front of me: a wolf, a wild boar, a cobra, a bear, a cougar, a tiger, birds, fish, insects, amphibians. I also saw strange flowers, herbs and trees of wild, extraordinary beauty. I felt the presence of tremendous power, divine harmony and vibrant energy of love! There was no fear in me, I was enswathed with this energy, enjoying it. I was wondering what all that meant and why all those creatures came to me at once. I asked: “Who are you? Should I do anything or do you want me to help you?” I got the answer immediately: “We are the souls of the earth. Tell about us.” In awe, I opened my eyes. I felt an extraordinary surge of strength and an urgent need to pour this energy of love, peacefulness, peace and cosmic harmony onto the canvas. “Souls of the Earth” / Bear. A bear carries strength and self-knowledge with it. Look at this star bear and feel its powerful and bright energy. It is so enswathing that it shifts the focus of your attention deep inside your body. This energy guide in the labyrinth of your mind and soul. Now you shall never be afraid to look into the darkest corners of your consciousness. Who knows, a pleasant surprise may be waiting for you! The harmony of the Universe is filling your consciousness, expanding your mind, inviting new knowledge. The picture is sure to look wonderful in any room, no matter how small it may be: a bedroom, a living room, children's room or a library. Acryl painting, Canvas. Size: 50 x 40 x 1cm (unframed).

I am Natasha Shoebel. Though my name sounds German, I am Russian by origin. I was born in Russia in 1975. My parents were both engineers, but I have always had a fancy for painting. Since the time I could hold a pencil, I always painted everything I saw. Once at school drawing lesson, a substitute drawing teacher, a professional artist, came to our class. By some strange reason he disliked my pictures. No matter how hard I worked, he would be dissatisfied. I simply could not understand what he wanted. Eventually, he told me that I couldn’t draw. It was a life-long trauma for me. I was only an eight-year old girl then, too small to question his authority. That’s why I closed myself from the world of art for a long time. Each time I touched pencils or brushes, the harsh voice of that artist sounded in my head and making me feel unimportant and miserable. 26 years passed since then – a lot of time, the whole life. In the meantime I tried a lot of classes, made an excellent career as a lawyer, wrote documents and spoke in court. But job without love resulted in emotional burnout. Throughout my life, I wouldn’t stop dreaming about art. But despite the imposed disbelief in myself, there was no restraining my creative energy. I would constantly do needlework, beadwork, make dolls. In this difficult period, my fortune widely smiled at me, giving me a magical man as a precious gift – my husband. He made me and my daughter move to his home in Germany, surrounded us with love and care, and returned me the joy of life. For a long time I couldn’t decide on what to do in a new place. I would ask myself, in what area I could realize my abilities and talent. By no means I want to go in for the accursed jurisprudence. And then one day, my daughter asked me to take her to an art store. She wanted to buy acrylic and some special brushes. I stood frozen in front of the door to this large store, feeling a child who is about to take some difficult exam. Reminiscences of the drawing teacher, my tears, my disappointment swirled and swirled in my head. I can’t say how long I stood there. Luckily, a seller noticed my indecision and bewildered look. She asked me if I was all right and helped to choose the things I was looking for. But what struck me like thunder, was her phrase: “Go ahead! What are you afraid of?” And all of a sudden it dawned on me, that all I have to do is to make one small step which is a giant leap to my cherished dream.
