Tranquility

This abstract painting exudes a sense of ethereal beauty, with its palette dominated by cool shades of blue, violet, and white. The composition appears layered and textured, creating an impression of depth and movement. Brushstrokes are loose and dynamic, giving the artwork a sense of spontaneity and energy.

The lighter areas of white and soft lavender resemble mist or blooming flowers, while the deeper blues and purples suggest shadows or denser elements, creating a striking contrast. Hints of warmer tones, such as oranges and subtle golds, add vibrancy and balance to the predominantly cool-toned canvas. The drips and fluid textures near the bottom lend a touch of rawness, enhancing the organic, dreamlike quality of the piece.

This painting evokes feelings of tranquility and wonder, reminiscent of nature scenes like a garden in bloom, rippling waves, cascading waterfalls, or the misty spray of water in motion. The artwork feels alive, embodying the transformative power of water, from calm serenity to vibrant energy. It invites the viewer to immerse themselves in its refreshing and meditative atmosphere. It would serve as a captivating centrepiece in any modern or eclectic space.

The edges are painted in light grey to complement the painting, adding a finished touch that blends seamlessly with the artwork. The framing is optional, it can be hung as is. It is signed on the front with the initials, and on the back, it includes my full name, the title of the painting, and the year it was created. Additionally, the painting has several layers of matte archival varnish, making it ready to be displayed and enjoyed for years to come.

Tania’s art is about colour, pattern, and texture. Growing up next to the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, the heart of Russian art, Tania’s childhood was filled with inspiration. This continued into her early adulthood while living and studying in London, where she enjoyed the plethora of galleries and museums both there and across Europe. During her studies in Architectural Design, Tania built a strong understanding of form and structure, and developed a deep connection with painting. Working as an interior designer had a huge impact on how she viewed art and its role in transforming interior spaces.

“Paintings resonate with people for different reasons: some might be looking for an emotional connection, some to fit a certain space and colour scheme. Artwork can transform spaces more than anything else. It can tie colours that you love together, and fill the space with cosiness and warmth. This is what makes it home.”

Now living on the Gold Coast and enjoying the vibrancy of Australia’s landscapes and culture, Tania’s latest works incorporate mixed media into her oil and acrylic pieces. She finds this further imbues her love of texture and layering into the rich hues of colour that remain at the core of her art.

“Painting for me is a form of meditation. My flower garden is a great inspiration. All sorts of colours mix together and create a wonderful harmony.”
