Nataliia Mikhailova (b. 1990, Saint Petersburg) is a painter and sculptor based in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Her artistic practice explores painting as a visual language composed of signs, movements, forces, and connections. Her works emerge from the transformation and abstraction of recognizable forms, combining expressive gestures, dynamic structures, texture, and tension. Her work spans painting, sculpture, artist’s books, and theatrical design.
Nataliia has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Saint Petersburg, Kaliningrad, and Milan, including exhibitions at the State Russian Museum, Annenkirche, and Ogetto Libro. Artist's works are held in private collections in several countries.
