"People are an inexhaustible source of energy. we are able to share energy on a mental level. The face is our screen, emotions are our most elemental force, capable of attracting, repelling, making you believe or be disappointed in something, but its main ability is to transfer energy from person to person. "

Her Ph.D. thesis was on the topic "Greco-Roman sculptural portrait", which led to a passion for sculpture, in particular the sculptural portrait.

Most often she makes ortraits of women, conveying all the sensuality, emotionality inherent in us by nature. Inspires music, poetry, literature, enthusiastic people and their emotions from their favorite business. Despite all the emotionality that can also be destroyed, she consider a woman as a creative force. A woman as an element that rules many aspects of life, as a keeper of secrecy. Tatiana draws subjects from the images of literary heroes, and from the images of modern women. " The fundamental point in the works is the transfer of the female image through a variety of shades and the imposition of sculptural strokes with a mastikhin and brush on the canvas, betraying all the versatility of female emotionality and inner peace. In the work, she hemphasizes the picturesqueness of the material with graphic details.

Tatiana is nterested in the use of new materials such as injection molding plastic, papier-mâché, Traditional materials are also in the spotlight, especially clay, natural stone, paper.
