It takes a darn good artist to make us feel the emotions of the subjects they create—and that’s exactly what Natalia Tomas Segovia has managed to do. All you have to do is take one look at the painting below to understand what we mean by that. From the strong texture quality to the deep reflective colors, the artist paints a realistic picture that’s virtually impossible to deny.
But Segovia is about more than just pure talent and skill. She has a message to say, which can be reflected in the various subjects she chooses to paint. For instance, you’ll see below that she often paints portraits of wedding brides. But instead of brides with dazzling smiles on their faces, they often hold a solemn look instead. Whether this look is there to express their unhappiness, frustration, fear, or anger is up to the viewer—but regardless the feeling is there.
This is because her subjects have such depth that they allow the viewer to bring their own life into the picture. They seem to reflect on the human condition itself, and this is what makes her art so gritty and raw. If this kind of art communicates to you, give Segovia a follow on Instagram!
