"Kiss of the Rock" Artwork

Tina Saveleva is an Istanbul-based artist known for her exploration of imagined landscapes that balance between harmony and the complexity of human experience. Her work often divides into two main themes: serene, textured compositions inspired by nature, and dynamic, metaphorical representations of human emotions and freedom. Tina’s art reflects her deep connection to the natural world, with recurring motifs of birds and trees, and her experimentation with materials such as ceramics, metals, and marble textures. The artist is particularly drawn to themes of personal boundaries, inner growth, and the search for balance. Tina received her classical academic training in oil painting at the Southern Urals, followed by further study and work in Italy, where she gained experience with textured materials while working in Catholic churches. Long-term collaborations with architectural firms have significantly influenced her artistic approach. She has exhibited her work in Rome, Moscow, New York, Milan, London and Istanbul. Tina’s work is part of numerous private collections, and she continues to participate in international art fairs.
