ABOUT
multidisciplinary artist
Natalya Nyn is a Russian-born, Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist whose work explores mindfulness, the interplay between technology and nature, and the resilience of the earth and body. Through sculptural forms in papier-mâché, painting, and textile art, she creates tactile, immersive experiences that invite a more vivid connection to the natural world and the human body.
​
Nyn’s cultural productions, including the Knockouts Women’s Comedy Festival and the Women Funny? web series, use humor to elevate women’s voices and spark meaningful dialogue about the gendered experience in society.
​
She holds a BFA from the Fashion Institute of Technology and has exhibited with The Garment District Alliance, Image Gallery, Fem Factory, and FIT. She curated Love Games to benefit Planned Parenthood and received the Made in NY Women’s Fund. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Vogue Italia, Glamour Germany, and on HBO’s GIRLS and High Maintenance.
