Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.
― Leonardo da Vinci
My intention in art is to give people a brief respite, time to pause for a moment, to enable them to see once again how beautiful life and the natural world are and our connection with Mother Earth. Then we all are connected and we all are the one: Nature, Animals and Humans - with different cultures, skin colours and religions. So my another favorite quote is from Albert Einstein - „ A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

Painted with Love
🇩🇪Filigrane Mandalas mit spirituell-kontemplativen Ornamenten in schimmernden Metallic-Tönen leuchten neben ausdrucksstarken, abstrakten Gemälden und von der Folk Art inspirierten Afrika-Bildern von den Wänden – Natalia Schäfer kann man nicht in eine Schublade stecken. Das Werk der in Russland geborenen, seit vielen Jahren in Deutschland lebenden Autodidaktin ist so vielseitig wie die von ihr entwickelten Techni- ken. So verwendet sie unter anderem echtes Gold, Silber und Kupfer zur Veredelung ihrer Bilder. Getrieben von einem tiefen Empfinden für Ästhetik schenkt sie dem Betrachter kleine Momente der Schönheit und Entspannung in unserem oft hektischen Alltag: „Mit meiner Kunst möchte ich den Menschen einen kleine Auszeit schenken, einen Augenblick des Innehaltens, um wieder wahrzunehmen, wie schön das Leben und die Natur sind.“
Natalia Schäfer war an zahlreichen Solo- und Gruppenausstellungen und Kunstmessen in Berlin, London, Zürich, Gstaad, Monaco, Venice, Barcelona, Miami, New York, Tokyo und Dubai beteiligt.
Seit 2009 veröffentlicht sie laufend sehr erfolgreich verschiedene Kalender, Papeterieprodukte und Geschenk- bücher in renommierten deutschsprachigen Verlagen.
Daneben gibt sie regelmäßig Workshops zur Förderung der Kreativität für Kinder und Erwachsene. Sie entwirft auf Kundenwunsch In - und Outdoor Spaces als Street Artist – für Natalia Schäfer gibt es eben keine Schublade.
