Tatyana Bondareva

About

Tatyana Bondareva is an artist and illustrator from Kazakhstan who is currently living in Egypt. “Art is something that I’ve been doing since childhood. I guess it is my way to communicate with the world”. Tatyana’s paintings reflect the beauty of life that she sees around and within herself. She is mainly inspired by nature, sea, plants, animals and people. But the most inspiring for her is the connection between all of them. Tatyana truly believes that each of us is connected to everything around and to something bigger that is probably beyond our understanding. Tatyana is working with different materials: watercolor, acrylic, oil, digital art. The materials are chosen every time depending on the idea. However, all the materials she uses are of professional quality to ensure a long life of her artworks.
