Natalia Koromvokis
Contemporary Painter. Born in Moscow. Based in Attica, Greece.
Artistic Formation
Contemporary Painter. Koromvokis’ engagement with painting began in early childhood within a family environment of professional artistic practice. From the age of five, she was immersed in traditional materials and painterly processes, developing an intuitive and technical relationship with oil paint long before formal education typically begins.
This early, non-institutional formation shaped a deep material sensitivity and a disciplined approach to the paint surface, which continues to define her work today.
Professional Evolution
Alongside her lifelong practice in painting, Koromvokis established a successful career in design, collaborating with international fashion houses. This period refined her sense of composition, rhythm, and visual structure, providing a sophisticated framework for her later return to the canvas. Her work as a designer was not a departure from art, but a specialized expansion of her visual language, which she now integrates into her primary painting practice.
Current Practice
Since 2024, Koromvokis has been living and working in Greece, where her practice is deeply influenced by the coastal light and spatial openness of the Attica region. Her work operates within a Dual Practice: the long-term, multi-layered InterFadedseries and the high-intensity, single-session Blue Response method. Her paintings explore the tension between emergence and dissolution, inviting the viewer into a space of quiet, attentive presence.
Artist Statement
Painting as emotional presence.
Light and colour form the language;
everything happens in between.
I work with human presence and state.
I paint in sustained, focused sessions.
Within the process, I hold freedom and control together — immediate gestures and clarity of decisions, intuition and awareness.
Each painting becomes an observation of how presence emerges and manifests through light and form.
When presence changes through connection, the image holds that interval — before definition, before explanation, before language.
