Nataliia Lepikhina was born in 1998 in the far north of Russia. Her hometown, Nickel, is located near Norwegian and Finnish border, so the minimalist Scandinavian art style inspired Nataliia from an early age and influenced her future works. From 2016 to 2020 she studied Art Textiles (BA) at St. Petersburg State University. From 2020 to 2022 she studied at St. Petersburg State Stieglitz Academy of Art and Industry (MA unfinished). During her studies she mainly focused on textile art objects and installations. Nataliia featured her textile works in multiple exhibitions and competitions. In 2022 she became a laureate of the IV International Textile Triennale in Moscow, winning first place in the category "Best Art Object in the Interior". In 2022 Natalia was forced to leave Russia and moved to Georgia. In immigration she changed the direction of her art and started doing abstract painting and creating conceptual watercolor, graphic and mixed media portraits. In 2023, Natalia discovered the world of NFT. She currently creates and promotes NFT collections.
