NATASHA SOSNOVA

ABOUT THE ARTIST

She began making her own work in 2025. Within a year she was exhibiting at Artexpo New York at the Javits Center. A public installation is on view at Aurora Municipal Airport in Illinois, with exhibitions at Art Santa Fe in July 2026 and Artexpo at the Mart in Chicago in October 2026.

Sosnova builds on custom wood panels in plaster, resin, metallic leaf, crushed glass, mirror, and iridescent paint. Every work is unique. Nothing is printed and nothing is reproduced — each piece exists once.

Statement

I create sculptural mixed-media works because I believe art should do more than decorate a wall — it should transform the experience of a space.

In a world saturated with speed, screens, and constant visual stimulation, I am interested in creating objects that invite attention, presence, and sensory engagement. I want the viewer to notice how light moves, how surfaces shift, and how an environment can feel different because of a single piece.

Working between painting and relief, I build each work as both image and object. Through layered texture, reflective surfaces, saturated color, and changing light, the work changes throughout the day and reveals different qualities depending on viewing angle and environment.

My background in nursing, including years of hospice care, deeply shaped how I think about emotional space, resilience, and human experience. I became interested in how environments affect us — how certain spaces can feel protective, restorative, expansive, or alive.

Using plaster, paint, metallic finishes, glass, crystal, and resin, I transform dense physical materials into luminous forms that hold visual weight while interacting with light.

My work explores transformation — not as escape, but as presence: creating objects that influence atmosphere and invite a deeper connection between people and the spaces they inhabit.
