Press about Natasha Manelis
- From the newspaper Helsinki Sanomat [8] :
| Each painting by Natasha Manelis combines abstraction and figurativeness, cubist surfaces saturated with color and soft smooth lines and shapes. Colors are sharp: a lot of bright blue, red and yellow. The objects are symbolic and non-temporal: chairs in desert landscapes, female figures, fragments of urban landscapes, musical instruments. All these combinations create the effect of ambiguity and mystery of what is happening. |
- From the magazine "NOMI" [9] :
| City and sea landscapes, delicate female images, high matters, impeccable sense of color, a sense of lifelong balance guaranteed by heaven, and as proof - violins, fish, good signs and symbols of Christianity. |
