Tatiana Malkin

Malkina is an artist working with painting and digital media. At the center of her practice is the way people perceive and recognize space through sensation. She is interested in the language of place — light, air, rhythm, and visual details that shape a feeling of familiarity. In her works, different environments merge into generalized spaces that remain undefined while still feeling recognizable, creating the sense of a place the viewer somehow already knows. This interest developed through living in different countries and cultural environments, as well as through a deep rethinking of her artistic practice and visual language. Over time, the idea of place became the central focus of her work. Tanya primarily works with oil painting, sometimes combining it with acrylic and digital tools. Her process brings together observation, photography, and memory. The works emerge through long periods of reflection followed by fast, intuitive painting that preserves the feeling of a living, shifting space. In her urban works, she focuses on the visual and emotional layers created by human presence within the environment. In her nature-based series, the attention shifts toward atmosphere, tactility, and the physical sensation of space itself. Tanya Malkina’s works are held in private collections. She has participated in group exhibitions through the Radio Paint studio and independent exhibition projects, and her work has been published in ROAR Magazine. Alongside her personal practice, she works on commissions and collaborative projects in painting and digital art.
