Desire's Palette: Revelations in Erotic Art
About the Illustrator
Natalia Pivkina (1987) comes from Siberia and has a background in mechanical engineering. Her artistic journey began in childhood. Her very first paints were a set of “Leningrad” watercolors, which she has carefully kept for more than 25 years and used to create these illustrations.
Today, her inspiration is rooted in a family story — a fairy tale about a fox named Ori, written by her grandmother Lucy. In her works, Natalia combines watercolor, pencils, and acrylic markers to make the tale vivid and alive.
This exhibition is dedicated to the illustrations for her grandmother’s fairy tale — a world where words become images, and family memories turn into art.

About the Author
Lyudmila Skvortsova-Pivkina was born in Siberia in 1937.
By profession she is an engineer and teacher, but at heart she has always been a creative soul. She has drawn inspiration from books, classical music, handicrafts, and walks in nature. As a child she wrote essays and poems with ease, and later she began keeping diaries and notes to preserve her thoughts and impressions of life.
In retirement, creativity became an even greater source of joy: embroidery, coloring mandalas to music, visits to the theater, and long walks in the birch grove.
The story about the little fox was born as a tale for her children and grandchildren, yet it carries something universal: a love of life, beauty, and the joy of discovery.
Her life motto is simple and heartfelt:
“By giving, you receive.”
