Natalia Vypritskaia
Natalia Vyprytskaia is a contemporary artist originally from the Republic of Bashkortostan. She currently lives and works in Poland and is a member of the Union of Polish Visual Artists (Związek Artystów Plastyków RP).
Her artistic path began outside academic studios and galleries, during an extended period spent in hospital together with her daughter. At that time, drawing became part of everyday life and a means of inner focus. Over time, this practice developed into a sustained artistic activity and shaped the direction of her future work.
Natalia later studied the foundations of classical drawing at an art school together with her daughter. In time, their artistic paths diverged: her daughter focused on contemporary approaches and calligraphy, while Natalia continued to develop her own painting practice grounded in classical techniques.
For many years, Natalia worked primarily with still life and portrait painting, mainly in oil. Between 2008 and 2022 she lived in Kislovodsk (Russia), where she participated in local exhibitions. Gradually, her interest shifted toward abstract art. In her work, she combines acrylic and oil on canvas, paying particular attention to texture, colour, and the emotional presence of form.
In 2022, Natalia relocated to Europe. The experience of migration and cultural transition became an important catalyst for the evolution of her visual language.
In 2023, she participated in an international contemporary art competition in the United Kingdom, representing Poland in the abstract painting category, where she received two laureate diplomas in the 31–50 age group.
That same year, her works were exhibited in an art gallery in Gdańsk. In a new environment, her painting continued to evolve, increasingly embracing abstraction while maintaining a connection to classical themes.
Her works are held in private collections in Poland, Italy, the United States, and Latvia.
Since 2024, Natalia has been living in Poznań, developing her artistic practice within the professional contemporary art scene in Poland and in a broader European context.
