Painting together with the Honoured Artist of Ukraine was an opportunity for people in the underground at Demiivska station in Kyiv at the beginning of the invasion. Nataliia went down there with other Kyiv residents, taking her easel with her so as not to waste time. Children and adults began to approach her. Suddenly, a kind of painting club was formed, where a real master taught everyone.

Nataliia continues her creative and teaching activities. She refused to work abroad because she believes that Ukraine needs patriots here and now. No amount of money can buy that.
