Percussionist "Nezisvitu".
Born and lived in Ukraine until 2019. Moved to Canada in 2022 from Poland.
In her painting, Tetiana combines modern abstractions with Ukrainian folk motifs. Landscapes and portraits are also part of her paintings.
The main task of her paintings is to make people understand how important it is to remember and be proud of who you are.
"Unbreakable" New collection
I created this series from samples of embroidery from ancient times. It was my grandmother favourite embroidery. The paintings are created according to my technique with acrylic paints.
These paintings symbolize the indomitability of the Ukrainian people in difficult war times. This war gave our people more thirst for spreading and love for their culture.

" Jazz" collection
Music is a part of my life because I play in a music band and communicate with many musicians. This collection was created when I lived in Poland. I fell in love with jazz. Especially the emotions that musicians gives on stage.
Do you also hear music when you look at these paintings?

"Spirit of Freedom"
Ukrainian woman during the war. Strong, beautiful, indomitable with a thirst for life.
She protects our motherland. She cooks food for the soldiers. She goes to work to help with donations. She does charity work and collects money to help Ukraine. And thousands more stories of how she is marching towards victory with the whole country.

Art empowers me.
When the world becomes confusing,
we are looking for something that gives us peace.
Someone finds this peace in other people,
someone in meditation. I find it in my paintings.
When I paint, I have a connection with God.
He created this world. People destroy.
I create a personal world in my art.
