Nataliia Zevaikina, Francia

Nataliia Zevaikina is a Ukrainian metamodernist artist based in France. She was born in 1985 in Dnipropetrovsk (now Dnipro), Ukraine. She received a degree in architecture from the Prydniprovska State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture, where she studied academic drawing, painting, sculpture, and art history. After several years working in the fields of architecture and design, she found herself at a summer art residency in Yalta. It was there — in an atmosphere of complete immersion in the creative process — that a profound inner shift occurred: painting became her primary language of self-expression. Since 2022, Nataliia has been living and working in France. She continues to evolve professionally, studying at the international School of Art Communication by Yulia Sysalova. In her work, the artist explores themes of liminality, threshold states, timelessness, freedom, and emotional landscapes. Her painting becomes a way to express subtle inner processes, transitions, and moments of transformation. Nataliia’s artworks are held in private collections in France, the United States, Spain, Belgium, Ukraine, and Cyprus. Among her collectors is a 2021 Forbes Ukraine listee.
