"One side is a painting - another is like stained-glass", this is how my fellow artist described this type of art I make, it is a double-sided, semi-transparent free hanging "modern stained glass" impression on clear vinyl. You can hang it on the wall, and change sides, switch top and bottom, but the work shows the best when it has free access to both sides, and a source of undirect light near it. I'm showing the photos of both sides, detail shots, and how the work looks backlit. This was an experiment of how I can make very vivid colors and effects of stained glass on softer more modern material, that does not have heaviness or rigidity of traditional stained glass. At the same time I was trying to create a contemporary color story that recalls centuries old traditions but still can be read as an abstract geometric piece with movement and rhythm. This piece comes from series "Pagan Sun" and is inspired by pagan traditions around the world of sun worship, and symbols of sun in folklore, utensils and clothing. Slavic countries have a rich tradition of symbols and traditions related to sun, and although this work recalls many of them, it is not a literal rigid connection. It is more about the feeling that sun creates in humans, and how humans, plants and animals can only survive with the energy of sun. It is somewhat of a "portable sun" in the form of art that people can play with in their personal space, that gives them versatility of physical interaction and visual interpretation. Was shown as part of the larger event in Barrows Mansion exhibit during JCAST art event in Jersey city in 2019.

"I am an abstract experimental artist by choice. I can paint and draw realistically, but I like the freshness of colors and the ambiguity of interpretations that abstract art allows. I like having a fresh new vibe in a space and questions that are not fully answered. Maybe that is why I'm drawn to testing and trying materials and combinations that are not being widely used (fabrics, vinyls, recycled materials), and making art that allows for versatility in both display and interpretation. When I paint or draw colors and patterns are my ways of preserving the energy I sense while making art in hopes to grasp it and transmit it the viewers. I often work while listening to music, so the brushstrokes or lines assume the rhythm and the flow of the music. They happen fast and very naturally. I almost never know what I am going to paint or draw when I am in front of a blank canvas. I like making fast bold gestural lines, that have movement and rhythm, and colors that are bold and nonapologetic. I am still to overcome my general avoidance of neutral colors and soft transitions of colors. I grew up in St.Petersburg, Russia, a city of beautiful architecture and many cloudy days, that is affectionately called by some "the city of hundreds of beautiful grays". So I had quite a bit of greys and neutrals while growing up, enough to last for many years. That is one of the reasons that for over a decade I have avoided using neutrals and soft neutrals in my art." Tatiana L. Sougakova is a Russian born American non-representational artist. She is classically trained in restoration arts, but now works in a non-representational, experimental style. She is interested in exploring different materials and techniques (translucent vinyl, fabrics, recycled materials) to make art that is visually versatile and encourages physical and emotional participation. She has always been drawn to making art which creates a sense of excitement and togetherness for people of any ages and backgrounds. She has exhibited locally, nationally, and internationally for over 10 years. In addition to showing her work in traditional gallery settings, she has shown her outdoor art installations in New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York City as a part of the Figment Art Festival on Roosevelt Island (2018) and Governor’s Island (2019). Her art is in private collections in US, Europe and Asia.
