Bio Nataliya Derevyanko
Born in the Cossack city of Zaporizhzhya in 1976. In 1995 she graduated from the Lviv College of Decorative and Applied Arts. Iv. Trusha. In Lviv, she discovered the world of icons for herself, and therefore later chose the faculty of sacred art of the Lviv National Academy of Arts, which she graduated from in 2001.
Since 2001, I have been working as an artist of decorative and applied arts: I am engaged in painting, iconography, illustration, and web design. Since 2006 I have been teaching at higher educational institutions in Zaporizhzhya.
I constantly work in a creative workshop under the motto "A piece of joy for your home." I take an active part in all-Ukrainian and international exhibitions. In 2002, I attended courses in contemporary sacred art and architecture at Istituto Superiore di Scienze Religiose “G.Toniolo” in Pescara (Italy). For the Ukrainian church in Maquillers (France) she made a stained glass window "The Annunciation". Works are in private collections in Ukraine, Russia, Italy, USA, Turkey, France, Mongolia.
Member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine.
Member of the Union of Designers of Ukraine.
Associate Professor, Department of Design, Khortytsia National Academy.
Natalia Derevyanko‘s paintings take us back to childhood, giving us joy and good mood. It is impossible not to pay attention to her touching characters... blond girls, angels, little animals call us to a fairy tale, and we want to succumb to this mood, trust and follow the call of the soul. Natalia is the creator of children‘s dreams that bring kindness and peace of mind.
