WORK
As an artist, Sofia Tatarinova tries to find the space between realm and imagination, using wildlife as my theme. She reflects on the problem of the spectator’s vision and perception, the complex relation between viewer and a picture.
Tatarinova is interested in showing scenes that could happen in real life by means of set-up photography. It is important for her to keep the spectator’s attention, to rise his imagination and make him believe in what he sees.
This artist is attracted to nature as theme of her art works. She is fascinated by the mystic of nature and exploring new realities.
