The creative work of Nataliia Charlier is an amazing synthesis of painting, music, and deep personal philosophy, where every piece becomes an intermediate conversation with the world. For her, there are no boundaries between sound and color: a painting can “sound” like a powerful guitar riff, and a song can “glow” with all the colors of the palette. Her path is built on absolute honesty with herself, unwavering faith in the power of talent, and an inextricable connection with her native roots. Nataliia does not just create art—she lives through every emotion, every stroke, and every note, turning her dreams, prayers for peace, and personal attachments into living, meaningful stories that inspire others to believe in themselves and create in the here and now.
The Anthem of the Golden Time Talent Platform: The Energy of Ascent
Nataliia had long dreamed that the Golden Time Talent platform would have its own song, and that every word and every note would speak specifically about them. She wanted to create a composition that conveys the truth about talents, their movement, strength, growth, and inspiration. In the guitar sound, she heard a bright salute and a fountain of emotions reflecting the energy of this project. She completely followed what was sounding in her head, creating a melody that was honest, alive, and filled with meaning. The selection of words, the translation into English, and the search for the ideal sound were not easy, but she tried with all her heart.
In the music, she wanted to convey the feeling of the moment when talents submit their applications—that energy of the beginning, movement, and anticipation. And then the ascent happens. The melody turns into a guitar riff, like a bubbling fountain of emotions on stage, like a bright festival or a grand finale where everyone shines.
Creative Method: Dreams and Inner Music
Nataliia always listens to herself and her heart. Often, future songs, words, or paintings come to her in dreams, and she wakes up at night to write them down. She clearly sees the future painting, even though it has not yet been created, and her songs are born to fit it. The music sounds in her head, and she has to carefully select it just as she hears it with her heart.
When her painting “The Clouds Part” was born, she won second place, and for her, it was a real delight because her childhood dream had finally come true. Later, the song “Golden Time Talent” appeared, and it organically linked with the painting. In both creations, light resounds. In the painting, it is visible to the eyes, and in the song, it is sung with words and music.
This light symbolizes Golden Time Talent as a source of inspiration that helps everyone believe in themselves, find their path, and reveal their talents.
"Mironovna" — A Tribute of Love and Gratitude
This song was born about Nataliia’s mother. Previously, she had painted her portrait, and now she is creating another painting. The song became a reflection of what she feels for her mother. The word “Mironovna” was specifically used in the song because that is what everyone who knows her calls her. All her life she has worked as a teacher in a kindergarten, and this name has become part of her image. Nataliia wanted everyone who knows her to understand that the song is dedicated specifically to her. Even her granddaughter Sonya calls her Mironovna.
This composition is incredibly dear to the author. Her mother is her wings. She always inspires her and supports her boldest ideas. Sometimes Nataliia is afraid to voice her thoughts to other people, fearing their reaction, but her mother always believes in her and in everything she does.
Painting and "Prayer for Peace"
Nataliia painted the picture “Prayer for Peace” while traveling through different countries: Austria, Croatia, Montenegro, the Czech Republic, and she finally finished it in Erfurt. In each country, she wrote the history of the painting on gold manuscripts in the language of the country where she was located. The painting was very difficult for her. Before she started painting, she did not sleep for two days; she had a real struggle with herself. The theme was complex—”communication without violence.” She wanted to show that there is a war going on in Ukraine, and she carried her story across the world, and she was not afraid.
A Cry from the Soul for Ukraine: The "Panno" Project
Later, a “panno” was assembled from the paintings of Global Talent Confederation participants. Nataliia looked at these works, at the drawings of the girls, and the lines of her song “Ukraina-Maty” were born. In this song, she speaks about Ukraine rising, about peace coming, about other countries helping to end the war, and about peace reigning everywhere. She worked on this song for several months. It is not just a story—it is a cry from the soul. Each of the participants put more than just a voice into this song. It is a song about love, about pain that cannot be hidden, and about hope that is still alive.
Strength of Spirit and Response to Aggression
After Nataliia posted the song “Ukraina Maty” on TikTok, Russians started writing bad words to her. They wanted to break her, but they couldn’t. She became even stronger and decided to remind them where they should go. She wrote the song at night; the words are simple, but it is a cry from the soul. That is how the song “Warship Go To…” appeared. It was a cry from the soul of all Ukrainians. Nataliia wants peace to come, for all of this to stop: “No need to save us. Just leave our land and let us live and prosper.”
Philosophy of "Here and Now" and Self-Acceptanc
Nataliia lives not in expectation of a miracle, but in the deep realization that a miracle is already happening to her in every step and in every breath. Her credo is unconditional self-love: “I love myself in any way,” says the author. This love gives her the freedom to be different: airy, unpredictable, or capable of dancing all day long without looking back at others.
A special place in her life is occupied by intuitive creativity. Nataliia recalls a moment when she woke up in the middle of the night because the words of the story of a future painting came to her. “I already see it. And I want to write a song, I hear this melody,” she shares. That night, Nataliia went out to the balcony with a cup of coffee and for several hours wrote down the lines that had come. These words touched her so much that she cried that night and the next day as well, unable to believe the depth of what was created.
Nataliia consciously chooses to live her life, casting aside fears of other people’s opinions: “I sat down at one point and thought: okay, everyone thought badly of me. What’s next? You think so too and then just start living your life. Because it is your life, and it is short. Time goes on. Live, enjoy, be glad. Do not reproach yourself for anything.” Even if something doesn’t turn out perfectly—for example, Nataliia admits she doesn’t know how to dance professionally—she loves herself even being clumsy. She dedicated the song “I Don’t Care” (Mne Fioletovo) to this inner freedom—a manifesto of a person who does not judge others and enjoys the moment. This is a fact.
The Path to Success: "Well Done, I Made It"
Nataliia’s creative path is not only about inspiration but also about great work. When she writes songs and spends a long time selecting words and music, this path is not easy. But at the moment when everything finally comes together, a real firework of emotions flashes inside her. It is in such moments that she says the most important words to herself: “Well done, you made it.”
Nataliia experiences this feeling of triumph every time she finishes a painting and sees the result—it is impossible to put into words; it is the moment of achieving a dream. Today, she is transferring this confidence to a new project—the opening of her own school. And although there are not many students yet, Nataliia is moving forward confidently. She believes that one day she will be able to sit down, smile, and say these important words to herself again: “Well done, you made it.”
