Natalia Kapchuk

From early childhood, Kapchuk took an interest in art and at the age of six, Natalia began to make ceramic mini-sculptures for sale at local art fairs in Yekaterinburg. She was inspired to work in art studios by her mother, an artist, and sculptor. She gradually learned the basics of sculpting in ceramic. Children’s art school became the next stage in her young artist’s career, where she studied academic drawing, painting, composition and the history of art. Kapchuk received her B.A. from the Urals State University where she studied at the Faculty of International Relations (Yekaterinburg, Russia). She left Russia in 2007, seeking to apply her talents and creative abilities, eventually turning her attention to the art business and creating artworks in her own studio in Dubai, UAE.

In her work, she experiments by using natural elements (tree bark, sand, stones, crystals, fermented moss, dried flowers) and industrial materials such as polymers, resin, resi-crete, diamond dust, gilding, metal chips, and plastic. Some single-use plastics such as recycled materials are featured in artworks’ bases using resin poured into a round mould.

Natalia Kapchuk also continued to improve her art skills in mixed media and painting. In 2017, She studied mixed media and painting at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (London, UK) and then at the Chelsea College of Arts (London, UK).

Kapchuk was a leading actress in the TV series Meet the Russians by Fox TV. The show was aired on BSkyB in 2013 and then across Europe and America. She acted and co-produced a movie of Maeve Murphy "Taking Stock", a "Bonnie and Clyde" inspired contemporary comedy-drama starting Kelly Brook.
