Nataly Kenny is a London-based artist originally from Yerevan, Armenia. After immigrating to England in 2001, she embraced the gift of time through early retirement, allowing her to fully explore her passion for art. Specializing in impressionism and abstraction, Nataly primarily works with oil paints but enjoys experimenting with acrylics, gouache, and soft pastels.
Fascinated by the interplay of light and shadow, she captures the beauty of landscapes, portraits, and figures. With a growing interest in abstract expression, Nataly seeks to channel emotions into her creations, hoping her art brings joy and healing to viewers. Inspired by masters like Monet, Degas, and Van Gogh, Sorolla, Sargent, and Zorn, she focuses on creating a harmonious connection between her art and those who experience it.
As an artist rooted in the vibrant tapestry of London, yet shaped by my Armenian heritage, I find my journey deeply intertwined with the exhilarating interplay of light, shadow and colour that surrounds us. Having immigrated to England in 2001, I’ve embraced the ever-changing landscapes of my new home, which serve as boundless inspiration for my art.
After an early retirement, I’ve gifted myself the freedom to delve into my creativity. I gravitate towards impressionism and abstraction, primarily working with oil paints but also experimenting with acrylics, gouache, and soft pastels. My fascination with the dynamic between light, shadow, and colour informs my approach, allowing me to explore the complexities of emotion through both vibrant landscapes and emotive portraits.
In my practice, I aim to channel emotions into abstract expressions that resonate on a personal level, creating pieces that evoke joy, harmony, and hope. I aspire for my art to be a source of healing, not just for me as the creator, but for viewers as well. Influenced by the likes of Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Sorolla, Sargent, and Zorn, I strive to weave their spirit of beauty and emotional depth into my work.
I believe that through the act of creation, we connect with our souls, expressing our unique vision of the world. It is my hope that my artworks bring the same sense of peace and healing to those who experience them, fostering a profound connection between creator and viewer.

Channeling emotions through abstract expression.
The painting is a dance of vibrant hues—deep blues and purples that mimic the night sky, interspersed with bursts of bright pinks, golds, and whites that evoke the essence of flowering petals. Swirling forms traverse the canvas, merging and flowing together to create a sense of movement, as if the universe is continuously blossoming in front of your eyes. The textured layers add depth, inviting the viewer to explore every nuance and detail.
Soft clouds drift away over a turbulent sea, engaged in a tempestuous dialogue with the sky. Gentle hues of orange and gold interplay with deep blues, as the restless waves extend toward the sky, mirroring the golden tones above.
"Flora Bliss" features a stunning array of poppies depicted in an abstract expression. Vivid reds explode in the light, contrasted by mysterious blues, greens, and purples that create depth in the shadows. Golden marks of light dance delicately across the petals and leaves, capturing the essence of nature's beauty. Inspired by floral landscapes, the painting embodies joy and harmony, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its vibrant tranquility.
Inspired by the floral fantasy and the beauty of nature, this piece showcases a vibrant interplay of color and light. Light dances gracefully on the pink and red rose petals, accentuated by delicate touches of golden marks. Hidden shapes emerge from the depths of blues and greens, adding intrigue and complexity. My hope is that this painting brings joy and harmony to all who view it.
"Dancing Wave" embodies an abstract expression of movement, featuring a shadowy background of deep blues and purples, softly accented with touches of turquoise. The highlights of the wave stand out vividly, while golden marks capture its dynamic crash, guiding the viewer's gaze. I hope this artwork evokes joy and harmony in all who experience it.
A beautiful emotional expression of love.
Inspired by the amazing colours of nature in autumn. The beautiful reds interplaying with cool greens.
