About Me
Welcome to my corner of the art world! I’m Natalia Rasina, a passionate artist residing in the stunning Hawaiian Islands, where I find endless inspiration from the breathtaking landscapes that surround me.
About Me
My Artistic Journey
From a young age, I have been captivated by the natural beauty of the world. This fascination led me to embrace the plein air painting technique, a French term meaning “in the open air.” Plein air painting is a practice where artists work outdoors, capturing the essence of their subject with natural light and a direct connection to their environment.
About Me
The Plein Air Experience
Plein air painting allows me to experience the landscape in its truest form. By painting outdoors, I immerse myself in the sights, sounds, and colors of the moment. This approach enables me to convey the spirit of the Hawaiian landscapes — the shifting hues of a sunrise over the Pacific, the vibrant colors of tropical flora, and the serene beauty of sunset over volcanic terrain. Each brushstroke is a response to the ever-changing light and atmosphere, creating a dynamic and authentic representation of the scene before me.
About Me
A Connection to Nature
Every piece I create is a reflection of my journey through the lush rainforests, sunlit beaches, and rugged coastlines of Hawaii. My paintings aim to capture not just the visual elements, but also the emotions and energy of these extraordinary landscapes. Through my work, I hope to share the magic of Hawaii and invite viewers to experience the islands’ beauty in a deeply personal way.
Being surrounded by the diverse and stunning environments of the Hawaiian Islands has profoundly influenced my art. The sense of place and the intimate connection with nature that plein air painting offers allows me to bring a unique perspective to my work. Each painting is a testament to the harmonious relationship between the artist and the natural world, a celebration of the fleeting beauty that defines our surroundings.
