"Banda Marina" Figurative Composition

(Marine Band) 80x100, 2013


  The 'Banda Marina' share with most of Tatjana's earlier paintings, a predilection for compositional stability.  Nearly every painting exhibits a number of key tendency: symmetrical massing, a firm sense of figures and a grounded relation achieved in tonality, and contour. All intellectually accented by a spectrum of color and a central entry point that leads to an unmistakable center of interest. The task is to have the viewer envision the human presence in the scene. Tatjana offers a firmly structured progression for the eye, the viewer becomes mesmerized by the movements but never lost.  The eye begins at the center of the image and works its way step by step to the points of interest, guided by the balanced distribution of masses on either side that lead into the distance and then back to the center of interest. The serial engagement in pictorial composition bears the formal structure of story-telling, there is a beginning, middle and end, whose clear articulation and arrangement of figures ensure that one is never lost. There are principal characters, but none of them are an actual historical individual.  The task is not portraiture but conventional narration.  The characters all operate as players  whose role are prescribed by the genre of narration – a fairy tale, folk tale limerick, joke, or parable. The story is about the rehearsal of its familiar formal inclination. It is not meant to innovate or depart from the formula because it's familiar, but because its social and psychological usefulness lies essentially in its conversancy.  Anyone can gather round and enjoy it as a social event and can expect stereotypes,  cliches and conventional inclination that are a common stock of knowledge.

  'Banda Marina' (Marine Band) elaborated oil on canvas composition, assemble in the persona of the Italian Renaissance.  Tatjana designed this piece with a series of colors, depicting a range of elegant illusions, like the draperies suspended in the air.  The setting is a sophisticated arrangement of style, architectural  placement and scale of colors. The aura from this opus can literally put observers in a trance, captivated by the mirror liked harmonic movement of hues and tones. The one-of- akin, in the fold of the drapes as they are stirred by the lyrical winds. Her use of hues and shadows influence the composition design and help radiate the passion in this arrangement. ’Banda Marina’ embodied the skills of an artistic conductor, pushing emotional and intellectual stimulation. The youthful musicians are iconic as they energize the composition.
