About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
Natalie Toplass’s Botanical Beauty is a mesmerizing composition that merges elements of nature into a striking and surreal arrangement. The painting features a lavish cluster of meticulously rendered flowers, each petal unfolding in an opulent display of color and texture. Among the blooms, birds and butterflies appear in motion, their delicate forms contrasting against the dark, velvety background. This interplay of movement and stillness creates an immersive sense of depth, drawing the viewer into a world where the natural and the fantastical blend seamlessly.
The artist’s attention to realism is evident in the intricate details of the flora and fauna—each feather, petal, and wing exhibits an almost tangible quality. The choice of rich, moody hues enhances the painting’s dramatic impact, lending an old-world elegance reminiscent of Dutch still-life traditions while introducing a contemporary edge through its dreamlike arrangement. There is an underlying sense of transience, as if these elements exist in a fleeting moment of perfect harmony before dispersing into the shadows.
Through Botanical Beauty, Toplass captures the intricate relationship between beauty and impermanence, celebrating the natural world while evoking a sense of mystery and wonder. The piece speaks to themes of fragility, transformation, and the fleeting nature of time, making it a compelling addition to any collection. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
Artist biography:
Natalie Toplass began painting professionally in 2003 after moving to Shropshire. She holds a Fine Art degree and a postgraduate qualification in Stage and Set Design.
Growing up in Cheshire, Natalie developed a passion for drawing from an early age. When her parents opened a florist shop, she often sketched unsold flowers at home, carefully rendering them to scale in colored pencil. This early fascination with botanical forms became a defining moment in her artistic journey.
From childhood sketchbooks to large-scale oil paintings, Natalie’s work has evolved into striking, magnified floral compositions. She attributes her affinity for large-scale art to her experience as a scenic artist—an adventurous role that took her around the world and shaped her creative perspective.
Her current works incorporate narrative elements inspired by the weathered beauty of abandoned country houses and the intriguing curiosities she discovers on countryside walks with her dog. These influences help create a visual story within each piece.
Natalie’s goal is to capture the emotions and sensory experiences she feels when immersed in nature. Even the simplest details can evoke deep emotions, and she strives to translate this connection onto canvas. Scale plays a crucial role in her work—by enlarging her subjects, she heightens their presence, inviting the viewer to be enveloped by their beauty and whimsy.
Her technique has been honed through meticulous observation and continuous experimentation, embracing the challenges of artistic growth.
Natalie’s work has been exhibited internationally, including in Tokyo, Singapore, London, New York, and Australia, as well as in her home county of Shropshire. She has been featured in Artists & Illustrators magazine (2007), Shropshire Living (2021), and Collect Art magazine (2023). Additionally, she has delivered masterclasses at the prestigious West Dean College in Chichester.

“Whilst my work is discernibly representative, I wish the viewer to feel drawn into what becomes for me a speculative visual story combining colour, whimsy, natural life and occasionally humour. The medium is oil built up in many layers to create a vivid and translucent finish, this process also supports a depth and intensity of colour enhancing the drama.
I’ve been trying to get to the core of why I have these recurring themes running through my work and after much ruminating I’ve realised the natural life element is enormously important. The natural world displays incredible diversity and tenacity adjacent with transience and fragility. You see the interconnectedness of nature, that you are part of something bigger, something vital that pays no attention to theology or wealth, and I delight in that liberation.
Adjacent to these core values, occasionally acting as a kind of ‘theatrical’ setting, is a still life aspect to my work, drawing ideas from neglected or discarded objects and places- creating a visual connection. It’s these aspects that develop their own provinence, their own stories that I find interesting, and realising that a narrative is fundamental to my painting by combining the two is fascinating and ever evolving.

Still Life with Grapes - original still life realism painting - contemporary art
Located in London, Chelsea
Dramatic and luxurious, Still Life with Grapes is a striking study of contrast, texture, and abundance. The deep blue-black grapes spill onto a delicate porcelain plate, their clustered forms exuding a natural opulence. The twisting vine, reaching upward like a sculptural relic, adds an element of wild elegance, while the surrounding leaves, tinged with autumnal hues, remind us of the inevitable change of seasons.
Titorenkov’s exquisite use of light and shadow heightens the depth of this composition—the grapes shimmer under soft illumination, each one a study in transparency and reflection. The intricate blue patterns of the plate lend an air of timeless refinement, grounding the composition in a sense of tradition. Against the stark darkness of the background, the fruit and its organic details stand out with mesmerizing clarity.
This painting is more than a depiction of fruit; it is a testament to nature’s richness, to the beauty of growth and decay, and to the fleeting, yet eternal, nature of the harvest. Still Life with Grapes speaks of abundance, nostalgia, and the simple pleasures of the earth’s bounty.
