Natasha Ulyanov

Artist Statement

Natasha Ulyanov is a contemporary artist whose work reflects a lifelong devotion to painting and to the expressive power of the human form.

Natasha works primarily in acrylic and watercolor, using a limited palette to focus on movement, emotion, and form. Her process blends quick, gestural strokes with moments of quiet observation, allowing each layer of paint to convey both energy and reflection. In her ongoing Dancer Series, she paints from life as dancers rehearse, translating motion into fluid lines and expressive marks. Her Endangered Species Series explores the fragile connection between humans and the natural world, honoring animals whose face extinctions. Across both series, Natasha’s work celebrates the beauty of life in motion and the quiet strength found within its most delicate moments.

Trained in classical techniques at the Silvermine Art School in New Canaan, the Art Students League of New York, and New York University, Natasha went on to earn her BFA from Parsons School of Design and a Master’s in Art and Business from Sotheby’s Institute. Her early career in fashion design honed her sensitivity to line, texture, and silhouette—elements that now inform the rhythm and structure of her paintings.

Natasha exhibits her work in solo and group shows across Connecticut and New York.

Born in England, of Russian descent, and raised in Connecticut, she now lives in Stamford with her husband, three children, and their French bulldog and a cockatiel. She continues to explore gesture, movement, and emotion—translating life’s fleeting moments into timeless visual form.
