Blossom of the desert rose series (2025) Painting by Zelotaya

Tatyana is an artist from Russia. Creative pseudonym – Zelotaya. 

An artist paints primarily using watercolour, oil and alcohol ink painting techniques.

In 2000, Tatyana graduated with honors from a class of Fine Arts. The motives of her works are the world around us in all its unity and diversity. 

In 2002, Tatyana attended courses where practiced drawing models from life. Since that time she realized that people also inspire her, their emotions, gestures, relationships.

In 2017–2019, Tatyana took private lessons in oil and watercolour painting techniques from artist Natalia Stahl in St. Petersburg.

In 2021, attended a master class by artist Alexander Roshchin in alcohol ink technique in St. Petersburg.

From 2020 to 2022, Tatyana visited the studio of artist Lyubov Biryukova, where she painted models from life and portraits using oil and watercolour techniques.

From 2022 since nowdays, Tatyana has become increasingly interested in abstract painting, when everything is not so obvious in the picture and you want to think for a while looking at it. So the series of works in alcohol ink technique appeared.

In 2023, her works were selected for filming in the short film “I Want to Draw”. The film tells the story of an artist with a serious illness in when the neurons of the cerebellum gradually die off, which affects the motor functions of the body.
