Tanya Bashlakova loves things which can draw her attention, pull her out of scrolling and noise, but not shockingly and only for a second, but tenderly and for as long as possible. One of these things is painting and what the author tries to create with itself.
Tanya Bashlakova explores human perception and experience of fragmented reality. She is interested in human desire for wholeness in situations of sensory overstimulation and stress. In order to do this, she turns to the personal context, personal archives, experience as a psychologist and the medium of painting.
Working with this medium in the modern world is more and more like a magical ritual: slow and indescribable. During the working process, the author gets cues from the material and her body even before there is a clear verbal plan.
