Artist Tatjana Auschew with her paintings
Instead of just reproducing what can be seen in real life, I like to improvise, change things, leave almost naive symbols. For me, the whole drawing process is like a game – it’s a place of complete freedom, and I always try to follow my instinct. By combining colors, I seek a certain balance within the work and the emotions that I myself am experiencing at the moment.
My practice is not about sketching – I start from scratch and use trial and error, which is both a struggle and a great source of joy, as it leaves room for chance and discovery. This whole journey is almost like a spiritual experience.
When it comes to explaining my art and understanding the meaning of my paintings, I want to be as open-minded as someone who sees my work for the first time. My approach is non-conceptual. For me, creation is just another form of thinking. When I work, I really think about life a lot – about the things that I want to understand, such as purpose, meaning, timing, timing, and anything that relates to me as a person. I like it when my paintings evoke a sense of calmness. I want them to be quiet, in a sense, quiet and like frozen moments. I love the idea that the viewer connects with my vision through the painting.
