Welcome to my website
Hello, I am Natalia Turina ( former Vidyakina), artist and author from New Zealand.
On this website you can find my paintings & drawings,
also, children's picture books.
All artworks & books are for sale, please make an inquiry.
My art comes from admiration of Nature.
I mostly paint emotions into subjects, created my own mixed an impressionist with semi abstract style.
I love vibrant colours and complex, textured, layered approach, that gives special effects to artworks.
People say my art reflects joy, happiness, giving a visual healing.
I am very pleased with a such feedback, knowing my works give happy vibes to the viewers and appreciators, also bringing vibrant colours to their homes.
For these past years, I have held seven Solo Exhibitions in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020,2021,2022
and have been in several group exhibitions in the great Wellington area and the Wairarapa region.
