Natalia Koenigsberg is a contemporary painter whose artistic practice explores the possibility of creating paintings capable of initiating cognitive processes of human perception analogous to those that arise when listening to music, but without the presence of sound.

Born in Kaliningrad, she spent her childhood and youth in the Baltic region, where she studied academic painting and classical piano in parallel from an early age. More than eleven years of formal training, including extensive piano performance experience, shaped two equally significant and complementary modes of artistic thinking.

The loss of her absolute pitch prevented her from continuing a professional career in music and gave rise to the idea of creating paintings capable of evoking sensations analogous to those experienced when listening to music. Her extensive experience as a pianist became the foundation of her artistic research, in which principles of musical thinking inform the construction of pictorial space.

She later lived in Latvia Germany and Ukraine and is currently based in the Netherlands.
