I don’t paint to impress people. I paint to leave them calmer than I found them.
Artwork and story from Natalia Samarina
My name is Natalia Samarina, a Fine Art Artist based in West Sussex, UK, known for my floral, landscape and portraiture oil paintings that blend classical elegance with a modern touch. Creativity has been part of me since childhood – from drawing and sewing to cooking and inventing – it has always been my way of exploring and celebrating life.
During a moment when the world slowed down, art became my renewal. What started as browsing online drawing courses quickly grew into a true passion. Today, I explore different subjects and techniques with curiosity and joy, always seeking to grow, experiment, and challenge myself.
Nature is my eternal guide. Its harmony, wisdom, and endless beauty inspire me every day. Through my art, I try to share that sense of wonder and to remind others of our deep connection with the world around us. Art, to me, is a bridge – a way to bring more beauty, calm, and inspiration into our lives.
The Drawing Academy represents exactly what I value: strong classical foundations, professional guidance, and a deep respect for the craft of drawing. Learning these skills is essential to my growth, and I am ready to take my work to a new level with their instruction.
Winning this course would mean the world to me. It would give me the tools to express myself with greater clarity, confidence, and artistic maturity. I am passionate, dedicated, and committed to continuous improvement.
If my story resonates with you – if you feel inspired by my journey, my love for nature, and my belief in the power of art – I kindly ask for your vote. Your support will help me take an important step forward in my artistic path.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time, your kindness, and your vote.
Natalia Samarina
