Natalia Schaefer
Germany
Delicate mandalas with spiritual and contemplative patterns in glimmering shades of metallic colours illuminate spaces from the walls, alongside expressive abstract paintings and African- style pieces inspired by folk art you can‘t pigeonhole Natalia Schäfer. The work of the autodidact, as Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design, who was born in Russia and has lived in Germany for many years, is as multi- faceted as the techniques she has developed.
She uses materials such as genuine gold, silver and copper to perfect her paintings. Driven on by a profound appreciation of aesthetics, her gifts to the viewer are instan- ces of beauty and relaxation in our often hectic everyday lives. „With my art, I would like to give people a brief respite, time to pause for a moment, in order to enable them to see once again how beautiful life and the natural world are.“
Natalia Schaefer has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions and art shows in Berlin, London, Zurich, Gstaad, Monaco, Venice, Miami, New York and Dubai.
Since 2009, she has produced a variety of calendars, stationery products and gift books to great success, together with renowned German- language publishers. In ad- dition, she regularly runs workshops aimed at encouraging creativity in children and adults, In line with clients‘ wishes, she also works as a street artist to design indoor and outdoor spaces.
