Created during my 4 years living in this fascinating country, Jordan.
My first impressions of Amman are endless views of a sandy, harmonious cashmere landscape. The skyline formed by box-shaped houses, flying lines of wires, and a texture of beige walls with stains from rare rains. A city filled with life and sun.
Most of the works in this series are made on cardboard, an ideal material to convey the unique color and texture of this city.
In this painting I used also some collage of hand-made paper, to make more texture of the wall.
Two coats of protective mate varnish are applied to protect the painting from UV rays and dust.
About Natasha Gavrilova
Natasha Gavrilova (Granata) is a full-time nomad artist, graphic designer, printmaking expert, who has lived and worked in different countries. She is currently based in Madrid, Spain, where she has her own studio for experimenting in freedom. She can't imagine a day without art.
Natasha was born in Russia and after graduating from Omsk Art University in 2000, she worked illustrating designing, and art directing in the fashion industry. In 2006, her life changed dramatically following her emigration from Russia and she decided to fully dedicate herself to art in each of the countries she has living since Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Colombia, and Spain…so far.
Natasha is a multidisciplinary artist working with various techniques from traditional to experimental, combining common raw materials of everyday life such as cardboards and pizza boxes. She also works in the technique of mixed media, using watercolor, ink, acrylic, charcoаl, collage…
Her strong passion is a graphic art and, as a printmaking artist, she does lithography on different surfaces, constantly studying and improving her skills.
Her living style with frequent moving from country to country has a huge influence on her art, very inspired in different cultures, cities, and peoples. Her urban landscapes show that strong emotional connection with the place she is living in that moment in time.
Her motivation is to look for new effects, a new look at the expression of ideas, harmonious combinations of colors, shapes, a rhythm that cannot be repeated. Always looking ahead and going her own way. This is how her project «TRANZIT» was created: A collection of unique works -performed on the cardboard boxes that she used to move to her next country destination- on the first impression of the cities in which she found herself at that particular moment of life. Some kind of diary of an empty box.
