Kukula (Nataly Abramovitch) was born in a relatively isolated village about an hour north of Tel Aviv.
After receiving her degree in illustration in 2003 from Vital-Shenkar, Kukula moved to the U.S., where she lives now.
Her works are amazing and unique. They combine beauty and a certain gloominess, innocence and eroticism, and each character seems to have its own story, which is read sometimes in the image itself, and sometimes in the details surrounding it.
Kukula’s works are always very recognizable and leave no one indifferent who has seen them at least once.
You were born and grew up near Tel Aviv and since childhood you have heard many stories about the Holocaust and World War II, not from books and television, but from living participants in these terrible events. How did it affect you as a person and what imprint did it leave on your art?
The protagonists in your works are almost always dolls, surrounded by well-considered symbolic content. Why did you decide to focus on such a theme and how do you approach symbolism in your images?
Sometimes there is a certain duality in your works. Your heroines are both dark and beautiful, innocent and erotic, open physically and at the same time locked. How do you find the golden mean when you work on an image?
Nude is often present in your works. But today's trends in social media often impose certain restrictions on this kind of content. How do you feel about it and what do you think should be censored in art and what shouldn't?
When you're working on an artwork, are there any central themes that you tend to revisit, or concepts that you like to base your projects on?
The years of the pandemic have left their mark on the work of many talented people. How has this difficult period affected your work? Do you feel that your work has been transformed, something has gone and something new has appeared?
You had very interesting collaborations: with a jewelry brand, furniture and clothing makers. You even had a limited collection of tea pairs. Could you tell us about some of your most memorable projects? And what other collaborations would you like to do in the future?
There is an opinion that artists decide to collaborate when they become cramped within their own creativity. Have you ever had a desire to try yourself in new directions, for example, to create outfits for fashion shows, create characters for video games or anything else?
You are not only a wonderful artist, but also a wonderful mother. Do you feel that motherhood has influenced the development of your creativity? What new things did the birth of a child bring to your art and what restrictions did it impose?
On Instagram you even have a separate hashtag for those who get tattoos based on your images. It's a great recognition for an artist when fans of your talent are so in tune with your work that they are willing to have your characters permanently imprinted on their bodies. How do you feel about this and what would you like to say to all the fans of your talent?

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
