Still life with fish (8) Painting

BIO My name is Tatiana. I am an interior stylist and an artist. I am 53 years old, have a Russian background, and live and work in the Netherlands. Painting is my passion. I began to paint 11 years ago and my favorite style is realism. I am very impressed by the Russian school of painting, but my favorite painter is V. van Gogh. I work mostly with oil paint and I like to paint landscapes, animals and birds, flowers and plants, portraits and human figure but most of all I like to paint Still lifes. My other passion is interior design. During my study at “Perk interieuropleidingen” in Eindhoven, I’ve learned “The color theory” of J.Itten, art history, to work with such programs as SketchUp, V-ray, and Photoshop. I make design concepts of the interior, 3d models, and visualizations (renders). I do this also to represent my works in interiors, to let you see how it can look like in different rooms and styles. I am a certified sketcher, I make lovely interior-, landscape- and architectural sketches and like to do it very much. If I have a little bit more free time I like to make illustrations with watercolor, or paint T-shorts or sew decorative pillows.

Beauty is everywhere, but still is not enough, more is needed. I feel that my mission is to bring beauty to this world, to multiply it. When I write my works, I do it for myself, I get great pleasure and satisfaction from the process. I create new worlds that are colorful, bright, and happy. But I do it for you too. I want these bright colors and emotions, warmth and light to enter your homes through my paintings. I want your lives to become more fun and fulfilling, I want to share with you a piece of my soul. I see sources of inspiration everywhere. Flowers and trees, animals, music, paintings of famous masters from the past, children's laughter, the gentle swaying of the grass or the rustle of the leaves, the soft, soothing whisper of the sea - all this fills me with energy and delight in front of the majestic beauty of our world. All this gives me strength, mood, and energy to paint and is embodied in my works. I hope that you too will feel the beauty of our world by looking at these frozen moments of life.
