Muse (2009) Painting by Tatiana Nikolaenko

I trained in ceramics and glass. However, I have always been interested in experimenting with new materials, technologies and ideas. I try to create beyond issues of materiality, exploring space and harmony, order and chaos. Recently I have begun to investigate a diverse range of materials inspired by contemporary fine art practices, which has broadened my vision and opened new directions for my work. My practice is based within the fields of sculptural craft and interior design as well as media art and public art.
I also work as a teacher in the State Academy of Industrial Arts in St. Petersburg and curate the Art Children's School which offers annual classes.

My studio is located in the “Rural Community of Artists” where students and young people engage with professional artists from a variety of disciplines and participate in collaborative projects.
I like travelling and taking on challenging projects.
