Tatyana Nazarenko, artist

Russia, Moscow

Tatyana Nazarenko's heroes have ridiculous figures and narrow persons of people which have no future. Nazarenko assures that she exaggerates nothing, all characters are written off from nature.

The poet has told: "Everyone writes how he hears, without trying to please". The artist Tatyana Nazarenko writes how she feels. But you shouldn't reproach her with lack of patriotism. Tatyana Nazarenko's patriotism - not for export, as, for example, at Glazunov. He - deeply internal, I would tell, intimate. She feels pity for the unfortunate heroes up to the soul depth. She among them, she is with them, she - one of them.

The majority of works of Nazarenko are autobiographical. There is her famous "Circus actor" who is freely balancing on the tense wire over an assemblage of envious persons and ill-wishers. Nazarenko has hardly got this freedom. But, having even achieved recognition and popularity, she wasn't released completely. To that the certificate - her head on a dish around which thirsty cheloveko-animals with knives in hands have gathered. It is "compliment" towards gallery owners.
