Tatyana Leys

A little part from Text Dr. phil. Lily von Fürstenow

It's the transparancy of the veil that is so appealing and decisive in the play between the natural and the monstrous. What appears see-through and crystal clear turns out to be opaque and artificially constructed. In the portrais by Tatyana von Leys emphasises the extreme refinement and love detail when rendering the luxuious costumes. The artist accentuates exterior pomp and splendor with skillfull use of white, greyish and silvery tones. Her pictorial compositions are centered around the protagonists accupying the major part of the picture. They are set in elegant non-chalant poses appearing as natural as possible and yet they are not what they appear to be. etc. etc.

I first started in 1989. I started to engage myself with the examination of the human body and female images.
Pete Weiermair, one of the most famous curators, discovered my artworks. Afterwards many exhibitions and publications in art magazines. Since 2016 I have been intensively involved with Trans- and Posthumananism.Philosophy and painting overlap. My Series Posthuman Studies after Ingres and my Series Molecularbiology is growing. Over 40 works 'Mme. de Rothschild in Transformation', Oil on Canvas and Mixed Media, and detailed works from the molecular area, Oil on Canvas, stand for transhumanism.

Many exhibitions at home and abroud
