SENTIMENTAL
«External world demands an effort, we at the same time can do no more than lie still »
Natasha Habarova is a contemporary artist living and working in St. Petersburg. Working primarily in a neo-expressionist style, she creates subdued, often monochromatic compositions that blur the boundaries between figuration and abstraction. Her paintings and drawings explore the human body, confronting its mortal fragility and shared loneliness.
Khabarova's dramatic, intense subjects are painted exclusively from life. Her sensual, metaphysical images, seemingly alienated from the physical world, convey a distinct beauty of their own—which, according to the artist, lies entirely in vulnerability.

Natasha Habarova
Untitled, 2026
Oil on canvas
154 х 131 cm
Born in Latvia, the artist lives and works in St. Petersburg. She is often considered a representative of the new generation of St. Petersburg painters. Habarova studied monumental painting at the Novosibirsk State Academy of Architecture and Arts. Since 2013, she has regularly exhibited at independent venues and galleries in St. Petersburg. She has participated in the "School of Active Drawing and Performative Posing" performances of the Sever-7 group. Since 2020, has been a member of the Union of Artists of Russia.
Khabarova's style is dominated by neo-expressionism. She often uses damaged canvases in her paintings: various defects, abrasions, and holes are meant to embody the vulnerability of human nature. In her art, Khabarova tells a very personal story of urban bodily loneliness, fragility, and vulnerability. As the artist herself says, "The body is a collection of receptors, fleshly power, pleasure, and satisfaction. The body is God." Khabarova paints exclusively from life, increasingly abstracting herself from the depiction of the figure in favor of sensual, intimate images. Critic Mikhail Borisov characterized her art thus: "Natasha Khabarova elegantly moves from the figurative into abstraction and metaphysics."
