ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This work tells us that a brink between a dream and reality is very thin and each person is a creator of own reality. So our words and acts have huge value. Because each dream – whether it is a nightmare or the sweetest or improbable dream can become real. This surreal artwork occupies one of central places in creative work of the artist – because Tatyana sees all her pictures while sleeping, and then embodies them. The world of her dreams and our world is 2 realities in which there is an artist and which she paints on her canvases. That we see in a picture is a dream of the author which she embodied on the canvas. And the brink between a dream and reality is so thin that one can easily pass into another, as well as in the picture steps connect dream with reality. But this brink does not exist for the artist, the steps for her are only the following stage of self-improvement. Time on watch is birth time of the artist – time when the world of her dreams has arisen.

I guess I was given to be an artist with my birth. From my early years I knew that the world around us is unusual and magical. I saw fabulous dreams, angels and spirits, who gave me the answers to my various questions. When I was six month my mom went to buy some milk and left me alone no longer than 10 minutes. When she returned she saw a real masterpiece! I painted the wall with everything that could get: yellow baby porridge, extremely red juice and I didn't forget to use everything that I had in my diaper. And straight my mom saw this she claimed "She's gonna be an artist!". When I was nine we moved to Israel. And that changed my life completely. I felt different unusual land under my feet. I convinced that land of Israel could change everybody’s lives, so and I had passed through all these changes. After hard years in Belarus I moved to the country where government had been trying to support all spheres of art on all the levels. I have never been taught painting in art schools, only in my dreams. I didn't have any doubts which school should I go to. Obviously I tried to enter Israel School of Art. So, I needed to pass the interview with school principal and tell about myself, my past and my ambitions. I haven’t a clue why that story from my past came to my mind at that moment, but I started to tell to the principal about my pig ride in Belorussian village when I was a kid. At that time I didn't know anything about kosher law and of course, the interviewer was shocked, so I failed the interview and continued to learn painting in my dreams. Thanks to that pig I wasn't forced to work within the limits of traditional school of painting. It could become a real disaster for me as an artist! But how could I learn to mix the paints, chiaroscuro, create the composition? All those skills came to me in my dreams. I saw in my dreams different teachers who taught me painting. And step by step my dreams became brighter and the teachers came more often. Before the school I used to draw sketches and after the school I made them into the small pictures. And from this moment the combination between study in my dreams and my painting in reality was successful. There was a period when I couldn't find a certain combination of paints for my painting for a long time. And one night I dreamed that somebody was trying to wake me up. I could barely open my eyes and I saw tall thick man lead me to my workshop.
