Artsy Shark is pleased to present the portfolio of featured artist Tatiana Roulin. Enjoy her work, and visit her website for more from this very talented painter.

 

Tatiana Roulin is an award-winning, internationally renowned Boston-based realistic painter. She is a Juried Member of Pastel Society of America and a member of several art associations throughout New England such as North River Arts Society, Sharon Creative Arts Association, Mansfield Art Association, Foxboro Art Association and Framingham Artists’ Guild.

 

 

An alumnus (summa cum laude) of Moscow Art College of Art and Graphics, additionally she has been studying fine art for several years under a very well known Russian realistic oil painter, Yury Gusev. Her approach combines the classic atelier training of the “Russian Academic School” with her own personal style expressed through the harmony of design, color and light. Roulin, a native of Russia who now permanently lives in Massachusetts, has more than 10 years of professional experience as a fine art artist and graphic designer to her credit. Over a decade, Tatiana had many group shows and several solo shows in US and abroad.

 

 

Through the last years, Tatiana has received local, national, and international recognition and many art awards for her unique work. In 2011, Tatiana became a Winsor and Newton Featured Artist.

Tatiana’s art has been printed in a number of major publications such as Direct Art, Art is Spectrum, New York Arts Magazine and also in a very respected European Art Catalog “Who’s Who in Visual Art”. Recently her pastels were selected to be published in the Best of Worldwide Charcoal, Pastel and Pencil book vol2 by Kennedy Publishing. Currently her art is represented by Art and Light Gallery in La Mesa, California, Gina MW Gallery in Long Beach, California and Preservation Framer in North Attleboro, Massachusetts.

 

What are your goals?

My ongoing goal is to grow as an artist, preserve knowledge that I have, sharpen my artistic skills, learn more and share what I create with people. In the near future, I am planning to publish several books that will include my art and my tutorials. My goal is to open an Art School for children and adults, but I think it will take me several years until I realize this idea. I would love to share my knowledge and experience in fine art, teach interested people how to paint, drawing and appreciate art in general. I hope one day to make this idea come true. I also consider opportunities to open my own local gallery where I could represent local artists, give them proper representation and advance their artistic career using my own experience in this field.

 

 

What are you working on now?

Currently, I continue working on a series of oil still lifes I’ve started this year. Working with oil is one of my favorite things so I think I will be paintings in oil for quite a while.

 

 

What inspires you?

There are many things that inspire me: music, art, books, movies, friends and family, nature and traveling. I would say that traveling and visiting new places charge me with inspiration more than anything.

 


Tatiana has also published a book of her work, which can be purchased online.
