"Natalia Delieva's main character is a person who lives next to us, studies, works, and spends their leisure time. The recognizability of her characters is often achieved through the use
of sharp compositional angles and dynamic drawing, in which one can feel the pulse of the time.
For Delieva, the moment of movement—both external and internal, spiritual—is always important in depicting a person. In each new portrait, the artist seeks and finds new plastic techniques
in the dramatic blaze of red and its tense contrast with black and white, where the space sometimes flattens, becoming extremely conventional, and at other times becomes charged with the energy of straight and diagonal lines.
Natalia Delieva's still lifes are also filled with the energy of transforming the visible world, where the decorativeness of the expressive technique, which harks back to the "Moscow Cézannism" of the early 20th century, is not an end in itself. In the restraint of a monochrome palette
or in the passionate blaze of color, in the dramatic dialogue between red and black, light
and dark, the profound essence of nature, its aesthetic content, can be revealed."
