Natalya is one of my most prized creations. She is my latest piece and the impetus for my accelerated growth on social media. She is a combination of a lifetime of learned techniques meshed together as one. She becomes whomever you want her to be. This painting effortlessly guides you to lose yourself in her gaze. Who is she to you? What is she thinking? Every person’s description is unique and personal. Oil on canvas 48″ x 48″ To view her entire creation from start to finish, you can find her timelapse on my youtube channel Michelle Kohler Art.
Like most artists, my career began as a childhood obsession; An insatiable urge to replicate on paper what I saw with my eyes. My parents, wise enough to see this within me, enrolled me in private art classes in my early adolescent year. After 3 years of private instruction, my desire and progress led me to study for 5 more years at Hugo Naude Art Center in Worcester, South Africa.
After graduating, with a new disciplined approach, I felt compelled to pursue structure. Namely, facial structure. So I drew face after face, and attended many live-model classes. After a while, my own perspective began to emerge in my otherwise purist portraiture constructions. This of course came from confidence emboldened by years of disciplined construction.
Flashing forward a few years, and a handful of domestic and international exhibits, I am now coming full circle as an artist with my own unique, creative sensibilities-and a portraiture constructionist.
My new work captures the subjectivity of shape abstraction and color relationship, along with the disciplined objectivity of human portraiture.
