Brass still life (2020) Painting by Tatyana Kaganets

I have been living in the city of Chelyabinsk and painting my picture there. I derive energy from the Ural Mountains.

The basis of my work is attention to man, the connection of man with nature. Disclosure of the female image through the prism of one's own experiences, states, visions from dreams and meditations.

All my stories are about feelings, emotions, states. It's like diving deeper, opening eyes, then diving out and trying to reproduce what I could feel and imagine. To reproduce, conveying meanings without losing aesthetics.

I work in small series of pictures and weave realistic images into symbolic compositions.

The professional career as an artist began in 2018.

The main mediums of my artistic practises are oil, acrylic, tempera.

There are several picturesque series of paintings in my own collection: "Anapa Stories", "Emotions", "Dejavue"; and two personal exhibitions: "The Origins" and "Dejavue". I am currently working on the "Place of Power" series.

I participate in exhibitions, fairs and festivals of contemporary art.

My works are in private collections in Russia, the USA, Vietnam and Israel.
