Tatiana Afonina
Tatiana Afonina an artist’s statement I was born in 1992, Yekaterinburg. I've been drawing and playing music from my childhood. Harmony of sound and color fascinates me, and gradually I`ve begun interesting in a problem of synthesis and perception. I always passionate about shape and combinations of colors, full of energy and influenced on emotions. I've begun to engage a computer graphics from technique of collage since 2007 year and without any additional materials since 2009 year. But finally my style has emerged in 2012. And exactly in this time the realization of own artistic process and what I want to tell people by my creativity has come to me. My art isn't figurative, it's abstractive. But as for me, abstraction is the esthetics of unsaid and charm of art is in search of meaning. And that's why I propose every spectator to find something own in every artwork, something, what's according to one's soul and build own associative links. I only point a movement by the names of my paintings, but not impose. And the objects in my creativity are feelings, emotions and processes. All what's impossible to understand and explain unambiguously. So, the contemplation turns to the travel into oneself, to dialog with self and with painting. In 2009 I won the second prize in Hugo Create. In 2010 won in Russian Art week, in Ukrainian and Berlin Art weeks. I took part in the International in 2011 festival of media art "Terra Nova" in Minsk. In 2013 I was included in catalogue of contemporary art by Italian art-critic Salvatore Russo.
