In this series of artworks, I delve into the theme of happiness and joy in unusual times when it seems that the whole world is in a state of upheaval and instability. My inspiration and concept stem from the conversations of the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu in their book "The Book of Joy," where both share wisdom and practical advice on achieving inner happiness even in a changing world.
My work is focused on bringing to light the inner joy that lies within us, regardless of the circumstances of the external world. Each canvas in the series reflects everyday scenes and moments when the most ordinary actions can become a source of deep satisfaction and peace.
I employ various techniques and painting styles to convey this concept, blending realism with abstraction and symbolism. Each image in my works is created with the thought of how it can inspire the viewer to inner discovery and the pursuit of joy in their own lives.

The "Myths" series is a canvas chronicle where the mystical past breathes anew, and the tapestry of
ancient tales is woven with the threads of contemporary insight. This series is an odyssey into the
collective unconscious, exploring the primal narratives that have shaped human perception across
ages.
Within these works, the female form is not merely a subject but a storyteller, an embodiment of the
diverse personas found in age-old legends. The women in these paintings are the carriers of
wisdom, the nurturers of life, and the central figures around which the universe unfolds. They are
the modern-day muses who reflect the enduring power and complexity of their mythological
counterparts.
Animals and birds, significant characters in their own right within these myths, accompany the
women, each creature a symbol of the virtues, vices, and elemental forces that influence human
destiny. They are not just companions but integral elements that represent the symbiotic
relationship between humanity and nature—a theme that resonates deeply with the philosophical
underpinnings of my work.
Drawing from the rich soil of ancient myths, I reimagine these narratives through my artistic lens,
infusing them with a fresh perspective while honoring their timeless essence. The "Myths" series is
an artistic endeavor to unlock the archetypal truths hidden within these stories, revealing their
relevance and potency in a modern context.
In essence, this series is a tribute to the power of mythology to convey enduring truths about our
existence, our dreams, and our connection to the cosmos. It's an invitation to viewers to journey
through the realms of the mythical past and discover the universal themes that continue to enchant,
educate, and inspire. Through "Myths," I seek to stir the imagination and awaken the dormant
stories that lie within us all, hoping to foster a reconnection with the ancient wisdom that guides
and shapes our collective journey.

What do I identity with?
Woman is a flower that delights with its beauty. Artist is the flower on which the bees fly.
Because Identity is the way to perceive and express ourselves. In this cycle of paintings, flowers, like living beings, turn to us in different directions. As if posing for a portrait. It seems that you yourself become a flower and you feel all the bends of petals and stems.

Magically attracts to the "Silver Age", the so-called art nouveau. Renaissance, drawings by old masters transmit their secrets through time.
Symbols are hidden in each subject of the composition of the picture awaken the imagination.
Why today can the art and architecture of past centuries speak to us in such a sensual language? Why are they so clear to us and touch the strings of the soul?

Biography
Hello! My name is Tatyana , I'm a professional mixed media artist based in Kiev, Ukraine.
My message - Time is not infinite, it is cyclical. Get inspired by the life and art of previous generations. Use the messages that have been passed down to us through the centuries to make our lives meaningful and happy.
I create unique oil-acrylic paintings in my own mixed- media technique.
In most of my work, you can find a symbolic context (in colors, shapes, composition, etc.). Even in a seemingly simple painting, such as a flower or a tree, there is a whole story or message hidden in the depths.
I explore in my painting the connection between times, the connection between generations. Renaissance, drawings by old masters transmit their secrets through time.
Symbols hidden in each subject of the composition of the picture awaken the imagination.
Why today can the art and architecture of past centuries speak to us in such a sensual language? Why are they so clear to us and touch the strings of the soul?
My art inspired by nature and mystic history .
