"OUTBURST" Painting

Meet the Artist: Tanya
Welcome to my creative space. I am the artist behind Mineral Form Studio, based on the beautiful Black Sea coast in Bulgaria.
My path into art began unexpectedly and magically—I discovered creativity for myself at the age of 68, experiencing it as a true gift sent from above. Without any formal art education or prior experience as an artist, I began creating my paintings entirely by intuition, guided by pure impulse and powerful inspiration. It was as if in a single breath I created my first 5 paintings, and today I continue to bring new worlds to life, as new images are constantly being born in my mind.
My passion lies in creating bold, architectural, and monochromatic 3D artworks inspired by the profound Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi—finding sublime beauty in raw imperfection, natural aging, and the quiet power of shadows. My canvases transcend the boundaries of pure decorative interior design. Each one carries a deep meaning within—they are a hard-won reflection of my life experiences, the fruit of a mature personal philosophy, and a sense of peace found in accepting the path that was mapped out for me. My art is a living declaration that true creative freedom and authentic self-expression have no age or boundaries; they bloom exactly when the soul is ready to speak its truth.
Every single canvas in my studio is a labor of time, deep devotion, and a strictly limited original created in a single copy in the world. I refuse to use mass-market, ready-made commercial pastes. Instead, I carefully hand-mix my own unique structural medium from scratch. I create a paste with natural minerals, fine sand, and pieces of natural stone that I personally and meticulously gather from the rugged shore of the Paradise Bay in the town of Sozopol—a town renowned for its history that spans centuries. This infuses each artwork with a heavy, rock-like texture and a primitive, grounding energy that cannot be replicated by machines.
By focusing on deep, matte monochromes—especially the mysterious depth of black—I invite the viewer to slow down and find peace. When you acquire a piece from Mineral Form Studio, you are not just buying decor; you are receiving a hand-signed, one-of-a-kind original story told through shadows, light, and raw nature.
