Tatyana Graf is a Russian artist based in Dubai. She has been living in Dubai for the past 20 years. The artist says that the city’s desert landscapes and a magnificent skyline that changes color from time to time make her feel like she is part of a fairy tale every time she looks at it.
“I like to visualize the beauty around us and fix it as a memory of the moment for me but also for others which cannot join me in such moments,” says Tatyana. Her works are inspired by classical masters and she has been trained by classical teachers.
Tatyana has trained herself to do sculptural art recently. She has taken this field to honor the ancient artists of the Greek and Romans high times and she considers this one of her biggest achievements in recent times. “I try to be as realistic as possible, still adding an artistic touch of imagination to my work,” says Tatyana.
She studied at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, one of the oldest art educational institutions in the world. In her work, Tatyana adheres to the principles of continuity of the best traditions of Russian and world art.
Her paintings are made in a classical style and glorify the beauty of man and the world around him. Tatyana works a lot in the open air, filling her canvases with the freshness of sensations, and the perception of nature at a particular moment in time.
