Images selected from her lifetime collection of drawings allow her to revisit sites of her personal history and her homeland. It is almost as if she has caught two Russia's: The Russia of the Czars and the New Russia of the Bolshevik Revolution. Yet never are the two fully integrated. A parallel universe of opulence and splendor and the stark reality of Communist Russia infiltrates through scenes of architecture new and old, side by side.
The juxtaposition is often incongruous and unsettling, both real and surreal, much like Natalia's two lives must be; there is something very grand and amazing about it but it's also very dark and tragic. Her large oils carry these ominous feelings.....
