Frozen Depths Painting

My name is Tetiana, and I’m a professional artist originally from Kyiv, Ukraine. Today, I live and create in the beautiful and inspiring city of Lisbon, Portugal. I began my artistic journey in 2014, and since then I’ve completed over 300 original paintings, with more than 160 of them sold to private collectors across Europe, the United States, and Asia. Art has been my true passion and a lifelong path of exploration. I’ve completed numerous courses in painting, drawing, digital art, and mixed media — each helping me shape my own voice and refine my skills. My favorite medium is oil on canvas, and I especially love working with a palette knife, which allows me to create expressive textures and emotional depth. I also enjoy experimenting with acrylics, digital tools, and various techniques to expand my creative range. My work often moves between abstraction and reality, drawing on themes that speak to my soul — the beauty of the female form, the calm power of nature, the silent poetry of cities, and the timeless elegance of architecture. I find inspiration in everyday moments, ancient and modern structures, and the emotional presence of space and light. For two years, I led in-person workshops in oil painting and acrylic techniques, sharing my knowledge and helping others find their own creative voice. Teaching was a deeply rewarding experience that further shaped my artistic philosophy. You can find my artworks on international platforms such as Saatchi Art, Tricera, Artmajeur, Singulart, Etsy, Instagram, ArtPal, and Pinkoi. Many of my works have also been released as NFTs. I believe that art is a universal language — one that transcends words and speaks directly to the heart. Through my paintings, I hope to offer moments of connection, serenity, and emotional reflection to everyone who encounters my work. I’m currently developing new collections and preparing for upcoming exhibitions across Europe, continuing to grow and share my artistic journey. My creative inspiration is drawn from a myriad of sources. The mesmerizing beauty of women, the timeless elegance of ancient and modern architecture, and the dynamic, ever-changing energy of the world around me all serve as muses for my work. I have a particular affinity for utilizing oil paints on canvas with a palette knife, a technique that enables me to achieve bold, expressive strokes, rich textures, and vivid, vibrant colors.
