Filled with a sense of grace and classical beauty, "Dream" by Yaroslava Tichshenko has an unusual diagonal composition. The model is dreaming, peacefully. The whiteness of the linen provides a beautiful frame for her face as well as creates dynamic contrast with the flamboyant flower print in the background. The artist comments on her approach towards portraiture: “My work is reminiscent of the traditions of impressionism and post-impressionism. For some years, I have been obsessed by the desire to combine the highly technical Soviet school of painting, which is underpinned by solid drawing skills and a serious attitude towards the model, with the ease, vibrance and spontaneity of impressionists. This symbiosis has become crucial in my depiction of people.” Lively, daring, and bold, Yaroslava is unable to paint in any other manner. The energetic decorativeness of her work, rooted in the impressionist and post-impressionist tradition, is intensified by the outstanding draughtsmanship and psychological honesty typical of her work. Yaroslava Tichshenko studied painting professionally for 11 years, including a rigorous 6-year program at the world-famous Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, Russia, from which she graduated in 2016. Since then Yaroslava has held exhibitions in Japan, China, UK, Russia, and Kazakhstan, including exhibitions at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in London.
