CV

Natalia Grezina is a Rotterdam-based multimedia artist, originally from Sevastopol, Ukraine. She graduated from the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Sevastopol branch of the Moscow State University with a degree in Geography and Social Ecology.
Natalia creates soft objects and installations, using embroidery and sewing to weave together artificial and natural materials. Her practice explores postmemory and remembrance culture, borderline states, and indirect communication. Her current artistic research focuses on silence as a medium for expression and resistance. Natalia uses language of metaphor and symbolism to tell her stories, addressing the subconscious.
