All artworks

Natalija Ranceva is an artist whose artistic journey began in her childhood, marked by an innate affinity for creative expression. While she initially devoted herself to the exact sciences, her trajectory shifted significantly when her daughter entered art school—an event that rekindled Natalija’s own enthusiasm for art and inspired her to pursue it with genuine commitment.

In 2018, Natalija graduated from the adults programme at Vilnius Justinas Vienožinskis Art School, an experience that profoundly influenced her methods of artistic creation. This formal training equipped her with essential techniques and skills, enabling her to delve deeper into her creative instincts and cultivate her distinctive style.

Natalija’s approach to art is defined by ongoing self-discovery. She delights in exploring diverse techniques and has not confined herself to any particular medium or style, believing that her artistic decisions fluctuate according to her emotional state. 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 street lamp hanging from an ornate, iron bracket. The lamp, which has a classic, bell-like shape, is intricately detailed, showing the play of light and shadow across its surface. The mounting arm is elegantly curved with a swirl motif at the end that adds a touch of refinement. Below the lamp, part of a sign is visible, bearing the word "APOTIKA," suggesting the location might be near or attached to a pharmacy. The sign is partially cut off, and ornamental details can be spotted on its frame, complementing the overall vintage aesthetic of the scene. The image is rendered in what appears to be pencil, offering a range of textures and strokes that give depth and realism to the depiction.
