She's from Rivne, Ukraine, and although extensively trained in fine arts, seems to aim for a sort of impressionist-inspired 'intentional primitivism,' a bit like Henri Matisse's latter stuff, perhaps.

But really, that's mostly just clumsy labelling on my part. In her own words (paraphrasing, haha), she's directly inspired by nature and, in terms of technique, the way that water forms a wavy, prismatic lens through which to view the world.

My art is about nature, reproduced in wavy forms, lines. With my artworks, I try to show people's deep connection with the environment and meaningfully remind contemporaries of the need to cherish and preserve nature. I’m reproducing art in wavy lines because I have a very close connection with water and these lines are water, nature waterflow. Like each wavy waterline crosses through different parts of our lives.

Now, it struck me that some of the color palettes and sense of design reminded me of Ukranian folk art, for example the right piece below, which has a sort of sgraffito technique, but hearkens back to traditional "Yuke" artistry, it seems to me.

Tanbelia has more to say about how her work relates to environmental urgencies, below. And of course there are many more examples of her paintings, sculpture & craft:

EDIT: I'm pleased and grateful to say that once again, this little article is artist-approved. 🙂 Slava Ukraini.

Oh rabbits, I forgot to format the titles properly. So then, I believe they are:

  1. Ducks
  2. Cherry
  3. Bangkok Temple
  4. Summer Meadow
  5. Crown Flowers
  6. Sunflower Harvest

For me, the ducks win - because ducks. I like it.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

TBH ducks are complete bastards, yet I still love them.

Much like kitties, perhaps. XD

[-] hsdkfr734r@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

Yes. It's their way of adaption and survival. 🤷‍♀️

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

That's exactly right.

It's also right that sometimes we wish, eh... not to know for the sake of 'brain regularity,' haha.

[-] Heterocephalus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

You take that back about the kitties right now, or I am going to tell Astrid!

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Oh, rabbits!
Oh hey, give Astrid one these from me, okay?
It's...❤️

(now you got six to choose from, let's not have the pressure get to you, haha)

Easy, that will always be the multi faceted Terry Gilliam, especially considering he not only made the hilarious animations for Monty Pythons and directed Knights of the Round and Life of Brian but also Brazil, 12 Monkeys and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Geez, I still haven't seen Fear & Loathing yet. Shame on me.

Life of Brian is certainly my favorite, much of that due to its playful / savage accuracy, but Brasil was just something else. For a while there it sort of seemed like "wow, Hollywood sure is showing a lot of growth lately... I wonder what's around the corner?!"

Haha.
