Tatyana Stepanova is a Russian born artist who lives and works in Bridgeport, CT, USA. Adroit at combining elements of pop art, abstraction, expressionism, digital, photo-realism, along with touches of the surreal in her work, Stepanova has an uncanny ability to create mood-evoking paintings that pull one’s eye and mind into her canvases. Another of the artist’s trademarks is the ambiguity —meaning, that while her visuals might be simple to read, the many moods that they trigger, the number of ideas embedded in her work, not to mention a myriad of possible narratives – all open to interpretation – are anything but. The starting point of her life as an artist was while teaching History of Russian Art in London. The 15th Century Russian icon painting was inspirational. It has a unique style integrating symbol with geometry and color that provided the language for icon painters to express humanity through their religious beliefs.The impetus for unity where line, color and composition become inseparable from emotion, meaning and truth".
