Tatiana Kitchen, age 25, is a visual artist from Jacksonville, FL, and Douglas Anderson School of the Arts alumni. Her works feature a vibrant palette of colors, shapes, and seemingly otherworldly beings. With acrylic paint being her medium of choice, she has developed what she considers to be an art style emanating divine femininity, with the majority of her art being inspired by the life forces of the universe and the contributions and influence of humanity within that system. She also aims to illustrate transformation on multiple levels, relating to the human experience.
Tatiana believes art to be her saving grace. As a person with a physical disability, she feels as though being able to focus on the development of her artistic skills has been one of the main things that have kept her optimistic. Instead of allowing herself to become immersed in the limitations that her disability could have possibly set for her, she has instead become immersed in all of the possibilities and opportunities her art has brought, and in turn, has allowed her passion and character to define who she is.
Tatiana has exhibited art in Connecticut, Tallahassee and Miami, FL during Art Basel, an internationally acclaimed art fair. As well as collaborating on a mural within the Wynwood district of Miami. She has also sold a multitude of original paintings to private collectors throughout the US and is currently developing her skills as a muralist with a growing number of murals throughout her hometown.
Tatiana is a visual artist that often explores the idea of divine femininity within her work. Using many different perspectives, she creates a world that highlights black women in their fullness, where they are to be seen and admired. Throughout this artist's body of work are images of her muses, often depicted with beautiful hues of blue and purple skin tones, symbolizing the infinite and immeasurable, as to give the viewer a sense of their godliness and power. Though they may look fantastical, they are not imaginary beings, they are symbolic of real women in the artist's life and women in general. These are women that have inspired, motivated, and worked hard to leave a legacy. Her work captures this, leaving her own legacy in return.
