Set in a richly furnished salon of a historical Helsinki apartment, this piece captures a quiet moment between two young women on a Saturday evening, just before the party begins. The room, with its classical elegance, belongs to one of those grand old buildings in the heart of the capital—where stories, ambitions, and cultural life have long converged.

Rendered in sepia tones, the scene carries a nostalgic mood, as if borrowed from the pages of the last century. The girls linger in silence, perhaps dreaming of soirées to come, gallery openings, or the elegant whirlwind of city life. Like many others, they’ve come to Helsinki, drawn by its promise—a magnetic center of culture and possibility, where weekends sparkle like champagne.

This painting is a quiet nod to youthful dreams and the timeless allure of a city that holds so many of them.

Artmoods Tp

Finland

Tatiana Potapenko, alias Artmoods TP, is a contemporary figurative artist from Finland. In her artistic journey, she has explored various genres, but her heart has always gravitated towards portraiture. Tatiana finds perpetual fascination in the intricacies of human nature, steadfast in her belief that she can perceive, share, and unveil the beauty inherent in all earthly emotions - be it joy or sorrow, passion or loathing, excitement or desperation, serenity or rage.

Her subjects are intentionally imperfect and imbalanced, yet consistently sincere and true to life. Real stories from friends, strangers in the news, characters from literature, and historical figures deeply move her, serving as wellsprings of inspiration. Tatiana meticulously interprets these narratives through the lens of her own experiences and understanding, breathing life into them on canvas. In this transformative process, her paintings metamorphose into her own alter egos.

Central to her artistic philosophy are themes of profound human significance - relationships, life's purpose, beliefs, religion, parenthood, and death - which serve as the driving forces behind her compelling figurative compositions. Her preferred mediums, acrylics and oils, are skillfully wielded to create emotionally charged works on canvas or wood. She has a penchant for larger sizes, monochrome palettes, and rougher surfaces, believing that these elements contribute to the atmospheric qualities she seeks to convey. Whether pre-texturing canvases or using unsmooth wooden panels as a base, her technical choices are deliberate and integral to her artistic expression.

For Tatiana Potapenko, evolution is a constant in an artist's journey - skills may be refined, techniques explored, and styles may shift, but the core essence remains unchanged. This immutable core, she believes, is what makes artists recognizable and authentic, enabling them to connect with their audiences on a profound level. Tatiana's art, with its rich emotional depth and thematic resonance, stands as a testament to the enduring power of creative authenticity.
