"Extraordinary personality". That kind of personality is always little out of the crowd. Being not understood and rejected by the majority of people that kind of person is made to pretend to be like the others. You can find those people everywhere. Some of them are shining bright and some others put on a dusty coat just not to be seen as they are. Most of the rejected turned on being stars by finding and heading their way. But there are also numerous amounts of those who preferred stability of the wide bridge to the unknown of the narrow wood plank. How many personalities buried their gift just to suit the society. In my opinion the XXI century is the time to shine bright! Welcome the extraordinary! "The outcasts" series of paintings There was a dusty cardboard folder in the furthest corner of my apartment. That folder contained a lot of my old canvases that were not demanded for years. Those pieces of art were simply rejected not only by customers, but also by creator. Myself. But in February 2020 they saw the daylight again and transformed to something new. And that gave me some kind of freedom I've been seeking for a long time. I really gave up on those canvases, but knew that in every picture there was a great idea. The point is that I couldn't simply set that idea right or make it understandable. I saw a chance. How often I've been stopped from expressive creating by expensive white canvas, untouched tubes of oil and my classical education, of course. I thought that some of my ideas are just waste of time and materials. But now I have those "dirty and rejected" canvases to make something I've always been afraid of. There was not a fear of blank paper that time, just the ideas to turn into practice.

When you’re thinking of criticizing some piece of art, you’re automatically referring to the subject of form and content and the way they conform to each other. Speaking artistic language, it’s always a matter of representation and expression. Closely examining the works of Baykalova Natalia in chronological order, one can definitely see a noticeable tendency of simplifying the means of representation. Here and now the main part of the play is given to the personal point of view and private feelings; the drawer becomes the painter. With every step the author makes the more and more common and even canonic elements of art transform into innovative details. In the stead of predictable subdued palette here come completely fresh and unexpected combinations of colors. The canvas area grows deeper, spreading into a pulsing dimension, filling pictures up with air. Moreover, an intentional usage of such a vibrant and spicy palette and contrast, and also the mixture of texture and dynamics can undoubtedly refer this artistic endeavor to such a mesmerizing art style as fashion-painting. By the way, the exact style in fine-art is not only a perfect ground for creative experiments, but almost a guaranteed basis for commercial success. The further goes the painter, the more obvious becomes a fact of her search for some new forms of expression: the mixture of textures in some interior still-life paintings, the maximal simplifying of the subject for the sake of color or otherwise, intentional elaboration of some details. Reviewing the last works of Natalia in the style of «acid landscape» it may seem that she is loosing her «comfort skin» and is literally standing on the edge of something new and huge.
