Artist from Finland
About the artist Nataliia Burmaka
Natalia Burmaka - artist, poet. Studied fine arts at the People's Studio of B. Danchenko; after that, she worked as a designer for 6 years. In 2022, after the Russian invasion, I emigrated with my family to Finland, where I am now in temporary shelter. Participated in several two-person exhibitions in Central Finland. Works were published in magazines Welter, Phoebe, Quibble.lit, Rednoisecollective, Flare, Oakland Review, 805lit, etc. Participant of the cultural residence (Villa Rana, Jyväskylä) with the support of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland (2023-2024). She submitted her works for the creation of calendars on the initiative of the NGO "Aurora for UA", as well as for sale at charity art fairs. The proceeds from sales were directed to humanitarian goals for Ukraine. I like to experiment with materials and themes (one of my favorite areas of creativity is the combination of coffee painting and graphics). Searching for harmony in chaos, depicting personal "symbols of strength" (colors, natural elements and images associated with happiness), he tries to create a life-giving resource for himself through the process of creativity. I hope that my works accumulate that resource and charge the viewer with it.
