Tatiana currently resides in Austria. At school, she became interested in art and the history of the Ancient world and connected her whole life with it. After graduating from art school, there was a period of experimentation and formation as an artist. She painted in watercolor and acrylic. A special sympathy for pastels.
“I start my work with research. And when my idea becomes more or less clear I start making it.”
"People are an inexhaustible source of energy. we are able to share energy on a mental level. The face is our screen, and emotions are our most elemental force, capable of attracting, repelling, and making you believe or be disappointed in something, but its main ability is to transfer energy from person to person."
Her Ph.D. thesis was on the topic ‘Greco-Roman sculptural portrait’, which led to a passion for sculpture, in particular the sculptural portrait. Most often she makes portraits of women, conveying all the sensuality, and emotionality inherent in us by nature. Inspires music, poetry, literature, enthusiastic people, and their emotions from their favorite business.

Despite all the emotionality that can also be destroyed, she considers a woman as a creative force. A woman is an element that rules many aspects of life, as a keeper of secrecy. Tatiana draws subjects from the images of literary heroes, and from the images of modern women.

This is an attempt to make a portrait of two people in the tradition of the early 20th century. I looked for inspiration in the works of Braque and Picasso.
The fundamental point in the works is the transfer of the female image through a variety of shades and the imposition of sculptural strokes with a mastikhin and brush on the canvas, betraying all the versatility of female emotionality and inner peace. In the work, she emphasizes the picturesqueness of the material with graphic details.
This is my first transparent portrait. The portrait is empty. That makes it possible to place candles or light bulbs in it.
