"Bold Color Figure" Fine Art Print

Tetiana Surshko (SurshkoArt) Emotion is my medium. The canvas is my confession. My name is Tetiana, and I am a professional artist originally from Kyiv, Ukraine. Today, I live and create in the beautiful and inspiring city of Lisbon, Portugal. My artistic journey began in 2014, and art has since become my true passion and a lifelong path of exploration. Over the years, I have completed over 300 original paintings, with more than 160 of them finding homes with private collectors across Europe, the United States, and Asia. Professional Recognition & Market Value A significant milestone in my career came in 2025 when my work received official international certification. I was awarded the Artist Value Certification in collaboration with Akoun, the world leader in art market information since 1985. This certification formally established the market value of my works (referenced at €600 for a 15P format) and validated my standing in the global art market. As part of this recognition, my profile is included in the prestigious Akoun database and the upcoming edition of the Akoun art book, serving as a trusted reference for galleries and collectors worldwide. Style & Technique I have honed my skills through numerous courses in painting, drawing, and mixed media. My favorite medium is oil on canvas, and I especially love working with a palette knife. This technique allows me to create expressive textures and emotional depth that define my signature style. 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 and the emotional presence of space and light. Teaching & Philosophy Sharing art is as important to me as creating it. For two years, I led in-person workshops in oil painting and acrylic techniques, helping others find their own creative voice. Today, I focus on developing new collections and preparing for exhibitions across Europe. Discover my contemporary artworks and join me on this journey of color and emotion.
