Nataya was born in Tashkent, which was at the time the capital of the Soviet Republic of Uzbekistan. From architecture to craftsmanship, it is a city where everything is a rare fusion of Western European, Russian, and Oriental influences. At an early age Nataya showed broad artistic inclinations and began to explore a number of means of expression: performance, theater, voice, style, poetry and paint. She was particularly attracted to drawing fashion designs. At age 11 she was already making her first dresses from handy materials and accessories using her own designs. Her multiple talents extend also to interior design and decoration, often using her own art to embellish commissioned walls and spaces. Nataya seeks inspiration in all things in order to create works of stunningly aesthetic beauty.
After settling in California as a teenager and having pursued a number of art forms, Nataya finally returned to her strongest calling. Nowadays, her energy and passion are focused on merging fine art and women’s attire. Her goal is to fully unlock the glow of every woman and to make every woman radiate inspiration to others.
Now working under her brand name ‘Nataya’ she has become an art fashion phenomenon. Whenever her marvelous creations, which are inspired by and blend elements from La Belle Epoch, Baroque, and from the Orient are on display, they command attention. A mist of wonder hangs in the air.
From actresses Ann Hathaway to Katie Holmes, some of the world’s most discerning women have shined in Nataya’s designer wear.
Though most of her time is dedicated to fashion designing, Inga always finds time to paint. Her paintings are colorful and full of movement. The works celebrate femininity; the women depicted are beautiful, yet forceful, self-assured and independent. Her art reflects her character, her personal experiences, and gives free expression to her own sense of aesthetics.
STATEMENT: “I work primarily in oils because I find it is a fascinating medium - flexible, sensual, solid, lasting, and it resonates pleasantly with my personal ethics. I habitually express my thoughts in intense metaphors while keeping focused on serenity and beauty. I use optimistic, vibrant colors and at times dreamlike symbols. What I aim to translate into form is derived from the genuine, innocent and wise in me.”
In recent years Nataya has been dividing her time between Paris, Rome, and Los Angeles courting the muse in the fabric of beauty of France, Italy, and California.
My background is eclectic geographically and sensually, and formatting numerous and controversial details grew to be a form of meditation for me which influenced my style. I habitually express my thoughts in intense metaphors while keeping focus on serenity and beauty. I use optimistic vibrant colors and at times dreamlike symbols. All I aim to translate into form is derived from genuine, innocent and wise in me. Inga Nataya.
