Tamara Grizjuk

There is a bold dichotomy present in Russian artist Tamara Grizjuk’s abstractions, a powerful balance delicately poised between colorful, sharply angular shapes and the sensitive, atmospheric softness of the brushstrokes. Moving away from archaic, ethnic motives and the theme of Siberian identity, Grizjuk creates art of freedom and form, focused solely within her bold and enigmatic aesthetic senses. These paintings in oil on canvas draw viewers inward, inviting contemplation into their mysterious vision and meaning. “Painting has always brought me great joy. I find it the best way to communicate my ideas and feelings,” she explains. “I use color, rhythm and composition as the most important elements of constructing a canvas.” The result is something that expresses a sense of powerful energy, as the artist’s state of mind is transformed into a synthesis of color and shape.

Tamara Grizjuk was introduced to art watching her father, painter Nikolai Grizjuk, at work in his studio. Now a respected artist in her own right, she has exhibited extensively throughout Russia, Europe, and China.
