About Tetiana Gryshchenko

My Name is Tatiana Gryshchekoю I'm a contemporary Ukrainian artist.

As for me, everything starts with an idea. My first idea was to create my own artistic language - the language I will use to communicate with my viewers. This was the exact thought I had had since my early childhood. Since I was brought up in a creative family, I quite quickly realized how big and diverse the world of art is. I wanted to feel my own uniqueness, understand how I could interpret the reality that was surrounding me, channeling it through myself, my thoughts, feelings, and make it even more interesting and colorful for my viewers. It’s difficult to consider me as one of the artists, who, at the peak of their inspiration, take a brush into their hands and start creating, immersed into an appropriate state of mind. Each of my projects, each of my works is a result of long thinking about WHAT exactly I want to convey and with what kind of abstractions.

All artists create works by letting one or another problematique pass through their life experience. And I’m no exception. My inspiration comes from the people around me, the situations I face, and reflection on the influence of dynamically changing realities on each of us. You’d think the opening world of possibilities would be enormously huge! But it can easily crush you by coming down on you with a thick information layer, which you hardly have time to channel through yourself. To my mind, this problem is becoming more and more relevant every day.

In my artworks, I touch upon various social themes, but I can’t call my art “acute social.” There’s a lot of philosophy in it. I would like to encourage my viewers to reflect on what is happening, realizing their own attitude to the issues raised, to accept their own position and stay in harmony with it.

I am interested in studying Femininity and its nature. I am fond of dancing, and I have a relevant environment. I enjoy observing modern girls, the transformations of their opinions and mindsets, ways of self-expression, and adaptation in social and cultural conditions of nowadays. I started my professional career as a graphic designer while continuing to paint, forming, and constantly improving my artistic language.

My artworks are constructed in the language of simple geometric shapes. Such a simplification makes it possible to understand more complex forms and, eliminating the unnecessary, link them into a single composition, focusing on the essence.
