The painting of Pankova brings to mind Picasso’s famous maxim about an artist’s innate trait of seeing the world “with the marveled eyes of a child who does his or her first discoveries.” It is the acuity and freshness of her view of the world that emanate charm from Natalia’s works…

Nature is portrayed in Pankova’s pictures as the eternal and immeasurable source of beauty; its images are majestic and dressy. The artist mounts to remarkable virtuosity in her unique manner.
