TREE OF LIFE Print

My name is Nata Valter. I'm a self - taught artist. I was born in Russia, and I in a small town in the middle of Siberia. Since my early childhood I was drawn to painting, sculpting and experimenting with various shapes and materials, creating forms and images. I dreamed of becoming an artist or a sculptor, but, as it often happens, I grew up and became a lawyer. But art has never left my life, it has been my sacret place, the calling of my soul. It could have stayed that way, but one day the tragedy happened. I was diagnosed with an invasive tumour in my brain and started my battle against the desease. I came out of it fragile, lost the vision in one eye completely, but I found the new me. Art was my therapy, and my universe during that long year. I am forever grateful to the universe which had different plans for me, and despite the painful path I had to take to get here, it led me to embracing my calling and my talent. I now live in a Bulgaria and do what I have dreamed of as a little girl. I am an artist. The first series of art works I created after winning over my desease. It's called "A life in Gold", and it is a celebration of life, of the magnificence of creation, of the rebirth and the the reincarnation. The deeper I dive into the world of art, the more I feel the urge to create and try different ideas and unusual ways of realization. I am working on the second series, I called "The eternity", it is going to be dramatically different from the first one as I am exploring the topic of sensuality, self acceptance and love.
