Today we’d like to introduce you to Natalya Nova.
Hi Natalya, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My name is Natalya Nova. I’m an artist—photographer, painter, writer and filmmaker.
In my work, I explore the realms between dreams and reality, diving into universal archetypes and metaphors to tell stories that resonate on both personal and collective levels. Inspired by Carl Jung’s theory of the Collective Unconscious, I see my art as both a mirror and a lens, reflecting human mythology.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
There is no life without challenges—otherwise, what’s the fun? Challenges are stepping stones to a better understanding of the world around and within. I believe that everything I have been through has led me to this moment in time and space, and looking back now — it makes sense!
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I create. Photography, painting, writing, filmmaking—whatever medium best translates the feeling, the idea, the moment. My work explores the space between dreams and reality, between what is seen and what is felt. I don’t think about what I’m ‘known for’—that’s for others to decide. What matters to me is making something real, something that lingers.
What am I most proud of? That I keep going. That I don’t compromise. That my work exists in the world, speaking for itself.
What sets me apart? Maybe nothing, maybe everything. Every artist has their own way of seeing. Mine happens to be this.
Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
Luck is like magic—if you believe in it, it’s real. I believe I’m pretty lucky. After all, I survived a plane crash at six and a half, tough years in both Russia and New York, and the death of a best friend who was too young to go. But luck isn’t just about surviving; it’s about the moments when things fall into place. In my work, I’ve had serendipitous encounters that opened doors—collaborations I never expected, or opportunities that came at the perfect time. So yes, I am lucky. I’m here today, talking to you, telling my story. And I know that part of that is luck, also.
