Profile
Tatiana Struchkova
Tatiana Struchkova
Tatiana Struchkova was born in Orenburg in 1968 and graduated from Surikov Art Institute in Moscow in 1997. At the Surikov Institute, she studied under the prestigious Professor Chelombiev. Struchkova has been a member of the Moscow Union of Artists since 1998, has exhibited for many years at the Medici gallery in London and has held solo exhibitions at Moscow, Izmailivo Exhibition Hall, amongst other places. Her works are in private collections and galleries in Russia, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands and the United States and she has also carried out exterior church painting in Kosino and created mosaic work on private buildings. Having trained at the Surikov Institute of Art, an institution renowned for its teaching of life drawing, Tatiana's figurative painting skills are of a very high standard, which has been appreciated extensively in Russia and now internationally. Her powerful figures are confidently realised, strikingly contemporary, yet reflect a timeless quality and atmosphere – a style which Struchkova herself describes as Romantic Symbolism. Her work is often set against dark or vividly painted backgrounds, and frequently charged with symbolic meaning reminiscent of the work of Holbein, who has been a great influence on her.
Tatiana Struchkova’s paintings entwine the magical with the realistic and the richness and clarity of the colours and slightly fantastical subjects give her work an otherworldly, poetic aspect. ‘Blue Dream’, above, is typical of her richly painted work. The thick, russet hair of the woman in the foreground contrasts with the midnight blue and the white lights of the cityscape below her. The lights around London’s Tower Bridge seem to invite both the long-haired dreamer and the viewer in.
