Natalia mancilla

Natalia was born in Lima, Perú and is based in Miami, Florida.

She is a figurative artist who primarily works with charcoal, pencil, and oil, often incorporating gold leaf into her creations. Her work explores the complex interplay between vulnerability and strength, using introspection as a tool to invite viewers into a deeper emotional experience. Through this process, she encourages quiet moments of self-reflection and personal connection.

What motivates her to create and express herself through art is a desire to embrace her true self and share the experience of navigating the world as a sensitive individual. Through her work, she seeks to honor this sensitivity, offering viewers an authentic glimpse into the strength and beauty that reside within vulnerability.

Her artwork presents a harmonious blend of classical technique and contemporary sensitivity, celebrating the nuanced beauty of the female form. Characterized by refined simplicity, her body of work frequently features monochrome, allowing her to focus on the essential elegance of form and evoke a timeless, meditative quality. The occasional inclusion of gold leaf introduces a delicate, ethereal element, while her oil paintings incorporate rich color palettes that deepen emotional resonance.

Influenced by both the Old Masters and modern minimalism, she merges technical precision with emotional depth, portraying women not merely as symbols of beauty but as resilient, powerful figures. By sharing her own vulnerability, she invites viewers to embrace their emotions, fostering a personal connection and creating a space for empathy and empowerment.
