SVETLANA KORNILOVA
Introducing Svetlana Kornilova! Svetlana is one of the latest artists to join our TTAG community.
Born 11th May 1981, Svetlana lives and works in Moscow. Svetlana works with traditional materials (canvas, oil), portraits and multi-figure compositions and focuses her works around the theme of man in the space of the modern world.
In her paintings, Svetlana says she 'depicts people' by "conducting a dialogue with the viewer”. She explains that there is “dialogue with the world, with your inner child and with yourself, and therefore it is interesting to be in the same space with the characters in my paintings”.

('Secret Garden') by Svetlana Kornilova
Svetlana utilises her thoughts and opinions of the world, to decide the meaning of her paintings. She explains, "I am concerned about the ephemerality of our current existence. The possibilities of modern technologies allow us to transfer most of our existence into electronic devices, leaving real life outside of it. Thus, a person begins to live more and more in the world of information phantoms". Svetlana continues, "In my paintings, I try to fix a person in material space. My characters perform intelligible, tangible actions within recognizable physical objects. I portray an ideal world in which everything is in its place".

'Secret Garden' by Svetlana Kornilova
A theme which is prominent throughout Svetlana’s artwork is youth and childhood. "Childhood is the beginning of a person, the basis of their relationship with the world around them. By placing an object in the space of the canvas, I show a situation or a stage through which a person passes. That’s why, the picture is like a portal through which the viewer can look back, plunge into the memories or suggest some events in the future".
