Sunflower – Svetlana Tikhonova (2016)

Resident and native of the city of Brest, in southwestern Belarus, Tikhonova loves to travel. After completing her education in a non-art related field, she explored countless countries and plans on hitting the road once more after a stint back home. On her adventures she loves to collect the local stories, myths, and legends and draws creative inspiration from all of them. Their combination of grand scale and passionate emotion instills her art with a sense of connection to the people she meets.

In order to capture these powerful feelings, she paints broadly and spontaneously. Despite trying numerous media, she has settled on applying oil paints with a palette knife in order to  quickly express the vision and emotion she experiences. Considering the absence of sketching or predetermined color choices, it’s incredible how well it all comes together, time after time.

The limited art scene in her home city leaves a lot to be desired, resulting in only one local exhibition. Tikhonova has overcome this by using online galleries and marketplaces like Artist Become to drastically increase the number of people who can see her creations. In her words:

“[It] means hundreds, thousands of times more people will see it. Isn’t this what all artists dream of? And the reproductions of my art make it available at lower costs, meaning more exposure.”

We’re proud to have Svetlana Tikhonova as a part of the ArtistBe.com community and, as one of our top artists, offer her reproductions on overstockArt.com as well. Whether you’re just looking to scroll through and broaden your horizons with her imaginative artworks, or are looking to spruce up your walls with a gallery-grade made-to-order print on canvas, head on over to her galleries!
