,,Fantasy Town'' Print

Tatyana has her own, recognizable style. She paints in expressive colour combinations, mixing fantasy with reality which especially reflects her Prague period. The viewer experiences the Eastern-European ambiance in her work, and is taken along in a timeless fairytale world. Tatyana uses various materials for her works, such as acrylic, oil, and oil pastel. She regularly exhibits in cities all over the Netherlands. --- The paintings and mixed techniques of Tatyana Murova confront the viewer with lively scenes and situations. They are imbued with the Orient and are easily accessible for a large audience. After all, everybody is familiar with the enchanting world of One Thousand and One Nights. The fairylike atmosphere evoked by the Carpathian Ivano-Frankivsk paintress complements this. Tradition, folklore, and narrative techniques go very well together. Beautiful robes and colourful costumes, flamboyant facades of slender buildings pressed closely together, flying fish, and other recognizable visual elements call to mind a world which nears a fata morgana, while alternating between homely and frivolous. Murova paints pleasant dream worlds and mirages which create the impression that life is beautiful, fair, organized, and colourful. Almost too good to be true.
