Witch's Tears, Tatiana Grace, 2025, oil painting, 30 x 40 in. / 76.2 x 101.6 cm.
In Witch’s Tears, Grace draws upon the Ivan Kupala Festival and Slavic mythology, where witches and blooming ferns symbolize prophecy and renewal. The painting’s luminous flowers rise from sorrow itself, as tears fall into the water to ignite vibrant growth. This transformation from grief into radiant beauty illustrates the healing power of vulnerability and the magic of turning pain into hope. The mystical scene is both haunting and restorative, embodying resilience rooted in ancient wisdom.
October’s Melancholy, Tatiana Grace, 2024, oil painting, 36 x 24 in. / 91.44 x 60.96 cm.
October’s Melancholy shifts the viewer into a bustling city, where autumn rain streaks across a glowing landscape of blurred lights. The hazy view through raindrops captures the transience of fall, a season forever balancing warmth and decay. Grace masterfully uses contrast, the sharpness of droplets against the blurred vibrancy of the city, to create a mood of nostalgia, reflection, and the quiet melancholy of transition. This urban piece channels the bittersweet poetry of fleeting moments.
Sunny Days in the Garden: A Playful Scene with Kittens, Tatiana Grace, 2018, oil painting, 20 x 20 in. / 50.8 x 50.8 cm.
A different energy radiates from Sunny Days in the Garden, where childhood innocence and nature converge. A little girl in a white dress leans toward kittens perched on a chair, framed by lush greenery and bathed in golden sunlight. Grace captures not just a scene, but a memory: the universal joy of youthful discovery, the warmth of companionship, and the timeless beauty of summer afternoons. The painterly glow evokes nostalgia for simpler times, celebrating tenderness in its purest form.
Together, these three works highlight Tatiana Grace’s extraordinary ability to move fluidly between myth, mood, and memory. Whether drawing upon Slavic folklore, the quiet sadness of rainy streets, or the unfiltered joy of childhood, her art reveals the depth of human emotion in all its forms. Grace’s paintings remind us that beauty lives in transformation, sorrow into hope, fleeting moments into meaning, and innocence into eternal memory.
