Yaroslava Tichshenko
Quarantine Diptych - 21st Century Contemporary Watercolour Paintings
2020

About the Item

The young professional artist Yaroslava Ticshenko painted these two emotional self-portraits during the 2020 pandemic and the self-isolation that followed. Capturing the full spectrum of emotions one may experience when locked at home this diptych is a heartfelt artistic response to the biggest challenge we all faced in 2020 and 2021. Yaroslava comments: “During the several months of self-isolation, I made quite a number of self-portraits, in watercolour, oil, pencil. And they all were about emotions. Facial expressions and grimaces—it’s thanks to the quarantine that I started carefully studying them not only as a form but also investigating their psychological component.” Lively, daring, and bold, Yaroslava is unable to paint in any other manner. The energetic decorativeness of her work, rooted in the impressionist and post-impressionist tradition, is intensified by the outstanding draughtsmanship and psychological honesty typical of her work. Yaroslava Tichshenko studied painting professionally for 11 years, including a rigorous 6-year program at the world-famous Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, Russia, from which she graduated in 2016. Since then Yaroslava has held exhibitions in Japan, China, UK, Russia, and Kazakhstan, including exhibitions at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in London. We as The Russian Ark Gallery are proud to represent her work.
