About

“When the paint touches the canvas, it no longer belongs to me. It lives its own life and leads me where it wants to go.”

Natalia Korf‑Ivaniuk (b. 1985, Kremenchuk) is a Ukrainian artist working in painting, graphics, and mixed media. Her work combines abstract landscapes, still lifes, and feminine imagery, marked by textural surfaces and rich color. Active in national and international exhibitions since 2002. Member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine since 2010.
