Artist Bio: Tamara Filatov |
|
I was born and raised in Siberia, trained at the Kazakh National Academy of Arts and University of South Australia and works in multiple media, including oil, acrylic, watercolour and digital. My paintings are presented in private collections around the world, including China, Russia, Great Britain, the USA, Italy, Hungary, Kazakhstan and Australia. My recent solo art exhibition "Visual Diary inspired by nature," was showcasing my journey back into the world of art after being a digital artist for almost 20 years. Many of the images in this exhibition were inspired by photographs on Instagram. Subverting the fast-paced digital mediascape of Instagram, I wanted to recover the contemplative power of these images that otherwise get lost in the algorithm. This interplay between digital and analog media reflects my own biography as an artist. I chose watercolour to rediscover the visual language of emotions, this medium helped me portray inspired states of nature. Enjoy, dive deep into meditative sunsets, delicate sunrises, flowering fragrance of roses, and places on earth you may not have been yet. |
