Spring is here

This painting was inspired by the vivid transformation of the landscape in spring, when fields become saturated with colour and familiar surroundings feel renewed. A small blue country house sits quietly among trees, surrounded by an expansive field of brilliant yellow flowers. Thick, expressive brushwork gives the foreground a tactile energy, while the pale blue sky and distant vegetation create a sense of openness and calm. The work celebrates sunlight, seasonal renewal and the simple beauty of rural life.

Tatyana Soboleva is an award-winning Australian artist based in Western Australia whose oil paintings combine a strong foundation in classical drawing and realism with a contemporary decorative sensibility.

Formally trained in Moscow, Tatyana works across figurative painting, portraiture, still life and landscape. The human figure holds a particularly important place in her practice. Her paintings explore mood, presence and quiet narrative through carefully observed form, expressive colour and light, often bringing the figure into dialogue with richly painted fabrics, flowers, interiors and landscape. Across different subjects, her work is united by an interest in atmosphere, beauty and the emotional possibilities of traditional oil painting.

Tatyana has exhibited extensively in Western Australia since 2013, including two solo exhibitions, and has received numerous awards for her work. Her paintings are held in private collections in Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, Croatia, Ukraine and Russia.
