I create sculptural mixed-media works that exist between painting and relief. Built on heavy panels, each piece is hand-formed in plaster, layered with acrylic, metallic leaf, glass, and crystal, then sealed beneath high-gloss resin that captures and refracts light.
My process is physical and tactile. I carve, build, and embed materials so the surface functions as both image and object rather than a flat picture. Texture, depth, and reflection shift as the viewer moves, making the work spatial and experiential.
Color plays a central role in my practice. I work with saturated, luminous, and often iridescent hues that interact with light, creating surfaces that change with movement and subtly affect the mood of a space.
I'm interested in weight, resilience, and transformation — how dense, raw materials can be shaped into luminous, presence-driven forms. Each piece is designed to alter the environment around it, inviting slower looking and deeper sensory engagement.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Natasha Sosnova is a Ukrainian-American mixed-media artist whose sculptural works merge painting, relief, and high-gloss surface into immersive, dimensional objects. Built on heavy art panels, each piece is hand-formed in plaster, layered with acrylic, metallic leaf, glass, and crystal, then sealed in luminous resin that captures and refracts light. Her work transforms walls into tactile, atmospheric experiences rather than flat images.
Born and raised in Kyiv, Ukraine, Natasha immigrated to the United States at the age of twenty in pursuit of opportunity and stability. While building a new life, she worked full-time and earned her nursing degree, dedicating more than two decades to patient care, including extensive work in hospice. Years spent supporting others through vulnerability, transition, and loss deeply shaped her sensitivity to human resilience and emotional space — qualities that now inform her artistic practice.
Her studio work began as a personal exploration of healing and material expression and gradually evolved into a full-time creative career. Today, her pieces are known for their physical presence, layered texture, and reflective surfaces that shift with light and movement, inviting viewers to slow down and engage with the work spatially.
When war erupted in Ukraine in 2022, Natasha extended her commitment to care beyond the studio, actively assisting refugee families in relocating and rebuilding their lives in the United States.
Through both art and action, her practice centers on protection, strength, and transformation — creating objects that hold space, carry weight, and endure.
