«Selfie»
The painting «Selfie» is part of the project «Everything Like Other People's».
Spechinskaya’s characters inhabit spaces where private, almost imperceptible happiness takes shape: a sofa, music, soda, a small dog held in someone’s arms. These scenes feel simple and familiar, yet it is precisely through such everyday gestures and states that human existence is formed.
The artist’s painterly language balances between stability and dissolution. The figures in her works seem to dissolve into paint; their faces blur, as if identity itself were unstable, fluid, and impossible to fully fix.
Nataliya Spechinskaya is a contemporary Russian artist. She was born in Leningrad, now Saint Petersburg, into a creative family. Her great-grandfathers were Vsevolod Vishnevsky — a writer, public figure, and citizen in the fullest sense of the word — and the composer Zygmund Kats. This background, together with her natural artistic talent, shaped Nataliya’s path in the arts from an early age. She is a member of the Union of Artists and, since 2016, has been a resident of Studio “Nepokorennye 17.”
Looking at Nataliya Spechinskaya’s richly colored, dynamic compositions, it is hard to imagine the painstaking process behind their creation. In her works, the artist brings together a variety of techniques on the surface of canvas or paper. Thick, textured strokes of oil and acrylic paint create the distinctive plastic rhythm that defines Spechinskaya’s practice. This abundance of color and movement is intermittently counterbalanced by flatter, more fragmented motifs introduced through silkscreen printing. The use of screen printing becomes a conceptual element of her work, allowing the artist to reflect on different themes and questions through repeated visual images.
Color lies at the heart of Nataliya Spechinskaya’s artistic language. “Through color, I express emotion; through it, I also convey meaning. Color can change the way we perceive what is happening on the canvas: the tension between color and subject matter opens the work up to new interpretations,” the artist says.
