This adaptability enables her to embrace new possibilities and to express multiple dimensions of her inner life.

Taking inspiration from the world around her, Natalija maintains that authentic art conveys personal experience. Through her artistic work, she aims to share her uncertainties, revelations, moments of awe, and steadfast convictions, inviting viewers to engage with the richness of her emotional and creative experience.

About this artwork+

The artwork captures a close-up view of an ornate street lantern mounted on the wall. The lantern, featuring a traditional design, hangs from an intricately crafted bracket adorned with swirls and a decorative emblem resembling a heraldic crest. The body of the lantern has glass panels framed by metal, with visible filigree details surrounding each panel, enhancing its vintage feel. The background portrays a textured wall, possibly made of roughly hewn stone or brick, emphasizing the contrast between the detailed lantern and its stark, sturdy support. The play of light and shadow in the drawing adds depth, suggesting the gentle ambiance typical of a lantern-lit street in an old part of Vilnius.
