My name is Natasha, and I am an 18-year-old woman from Russia. I grew up in a small town where the only thing to do was hike through the mountains or go fishing on the nearby lake. But when I turned 16, my parents sent me to St. Petersburg to study art at one of the best schools in the country. It was there that I discovered my love for oil painting and sensual portraits.
After graduating from school, I moved to Paris to continue my studies and pursue my dream of becoming a professional artist. I spent countless hours in the Louvre studying the masters and perfecting my technique. My paintings began to gain recognition, and soon I was exhibiting all over Europe.
But it wasn't until I met a wealthy French businessman that things really took off for me. He fell in love with one of my paintings and offered to buy it from me. We struck up a conversation, and before I knew it, we were married and living in his lavish penthouse overlooking the Eiffel Tower.
Life was good for a while, but eventually our differences began to show. He wanted me to focus solely on painting portraits of him, while I wanted to continue exploring my own artistic vision. Eventually, we grew apart and divorced.
But through it all, I never lost my love for oil painting and sensual portraiture. Today, I work out of a small studio in Montmartre, where I create new works that capture the essence of beauty and vulnerability.
