SENTIMENTAL

«External world demands an effort, we at the same time can do no more than lie still »

Natasha Habarova is a contemporary artist living and working in St. Petersburg. Working primarily in a neo-expressionist style, she creates subdued, often monochromatic compositions that blur the boundaries between figuration and abstraction. Her paintings and drawings explore the human body, confronting its mortal fragility and shared loneliness.
Khabarova's dramatic, intense subjects are painted exclusively from life. Her sensual, metaphysical images, seemingly alienated from the physical world, convey a distinct beauty of their own—which, according to the artist, lies entirely in vulnerability.
