Natalia Aandewiel studied art in Ukraine since she was 10 years old in a special art school for gifted children in Kyiv. While earning her bachelors on Art she spent extensive amount of time studying art in Italy in Florence Classical Arts Academy. She earned her Masters degree in Art and focused her research on the topic of Synesthesia. Her artistic approach goes back to traditional roots, but has evolved into more modern style. She is excited to share her thoughts on composition, exploration of light, and color, and connection between senses. After the full scale Russian invasion in Ukraine she was able to escape her country, and come to Santa Cruz. Painting here, admiring and feeding of the beauty of the coast helps her stay grounded despite the chaos and tragedy in her homeland, going through cancer and building a new life here in the US. She calles her technique from Chaos to Beauty- a very freeing and exciting way to explore possibilities of oil paint, and bring more excitement in the painting process.
