"...Natalia Turnova is one of Russia's strongest painters of the last three decades. Her work occupies a special, completely separate position. If in the West one can find analogues of her paintings in the art of new expressionism, new materialism or in some postmodernist projects, there is nobody to compare her with in Russia. Despite the dramatic nature of her works and the traumas and tragedies reflected in them, "the main quality of Turnova's art today is vitality" (A. Borovsky) and incredible vital energy". V. Misiano
