I am an engineer of the soul, an artist of my life.
My paintings are not just images, but testimonies of overcoming. In every stroke of paint, I fight for my freedom from the shackles of self-doubt. My art is a response to the darkness of the past, a dream transformed into strokes of colour. It is freedom of expression, healing through creativity and transforming pain into a source of inspiration. This is how I create not only works of art, but also a philosophy of rethinking existence and society. I don't bend to the system, I transform it.
My audience are the people who recognise themselves in my canvases, when your hands are down and it seems that you are unable to do anything, or your feelings are so overwhelming that your emotions come out and cannot be contained.
My canvas is a battlefield for the right to be myself.
It's a window into another reality. Often we get clues from there. We feel it. But we can't look in. Contact with my soul allows me to go there for images that uniquely intertwine engineering precision with the exhilarating freedom of artistic expression, creating a harmony between the two.
Blind Paintings is the writing of an image that emerges from the moment and emotion. Different techniques, mediums and artistic handwriting emphasise my contradictory nature and going beyond the norms of expected recognisability.
I not only see the beauty in my surroundings, I rise above the ordinary by creating my own world.
Natalya Raduenz, metamodernism artist, iconographer, was born in 1980 in Ukraine.
An engineer by profession, an artist at heart, she is a successful top manager in a major energy concern in Germany, an academic with three university degrees and an MBA. Physically and sexually abused as a child, Natalya found her personal way out of the trauma in her Orthodox faith. She started painting one day and painted her first canvas "Obsession" in 2012.
Now, the artist is working on two new series “Before the First Light" and "The Echoes of Infinity" in which she will explore the truth - not in the poles, but in the resonance between them. The artist is also preparing a project to paint an icon of "All Saints in the German Land of the Illustrious" commissioned by the Orthodox Church of St Barbara in the city of Krefeld (Germany).
Exhibitions have also been held at Carrousel du Louvre (France) and in museums such as the Palazzo Venezia Museum (Italy), the Max Ernst Museum in Brühl (Germany), Museum of Srem (Serbian Republic), the Russian Academy of Arts and the Central House of Artists (Russia), among others.
The list of her awards includes 11 prizes at painting and icon competitions in Italy, Russia, Greece and Serbian, as well as certificates of honour (France, Luxembourg, Germany).
Her works have been presented in different countries, in particular in Germany, Italy, USA, Greece, France, Serbian, Russia, and are in private collections in Germany, UK, Switzerland, Greece, Ukraine, and the Russian Federation.
