Basic Element Within the framework of the exhibition the author suggests us looking on the space surrounding us as a multitude of structured in an amazing way elements (“bricks”), constituting the whole living and not-living matter. Talking about Natalya Zarovnaya we can but mention Art House SENEJ. For many years she is at the head of famous etching workshops, cooperating with many artists from Europe, CIS and Baltic countries. Painters, sculptors and graphic artists are involved in the process of etching creation; master-classes, helping to cope with technical difficulties of etching process, are held. The exhibitions of the artists – the etching-makers - with Natalya’s active participation were held successfully in the Central House of Artists, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. Besides the Pushkin museum her works are in the collections of Russian Museum in St Petersburg, Museum of Printed Graphics (Lubin, Poland), Contemporary Arts Museum (Portland, USA). She works in etching technique already for many years, since the time of writing her diploma on etching till nowadays. “Etching fully responds to my philosophy, sensation of the material”, - says Natalya, “it combines a surface, colors, depth; I would even say extra-depth”. At the exhibition in Elena Vrublevskaya Gallery new (2005) etchings and photographs will be introduced. “The basic” element, uniting all the works, can become the author as well as the spectator, but in any case – an artist. By this aspiration to perceive the Subject, experiencing the Vision, this approach is close to Zen-buddhist attitude to the world (“Beauty in the eyes of the observer”). Natalya Zarovnaya: “I was born in Siberia, for a long time I’ve been living in the Far East, and I’m connected with the East, by my birth and by my sensation as well. Zen implies that “something one is everything”. The key to the basic element is: “Everything is something one”, but the meaning of the phrase doesn’t change”.
