NATALIE BURLUTSKAYA – ARTIST, CURATOR

As an artist, Natalie explores people’s lives and the social dynamics of a vast megalopolis like New York City. The city’s hectic lifestyle, fast-paced environment, towering architecture, and noise pollution create an atmosphere of stress and vulnerability. Many individuals – especially women, middle-aged men, and members of the LGBTQ+ community – move through daily life balancing hidden emotions, from loneliness and insecurity to suppressed desires and fleeting moments of joy. Natalie’s photography captures the raw, unfiltered essence of urban and suburban life, revealing the untold stories of people and places often overlooked. Through street photography and candid imagery, she documents the tension between public personas and private realities, offering a deeper look into the complexities of modern existence.
