My name is Tatiana Bukalova, and I am an artist and an instructor in painting.
From a young age, I harbored a passion for drawing and nurtured aspirations of becoming an artist, with unwavering support from my parents.
Today, I am privileged to assist children in realizing their own artistic dreams. Art has been the focal point of my entire existence, driving me to continually enhance my skills and knowledge. In 2009, I graduated from the Painting department of the Penza Art School, named after K. A. Savitsky, under the guidance of esteemed mentors such as V.V. Pentyukh and A.L. Omelchenko. Surrounded by talented peers, our camaraderie and healthy competition propelled us all towards excellence. Following the completion of my studies, I embarked on my professional journey as a portrait artist and educator.
My expertise spans various techniques including watercolor, oil, acrylic, and pastel painting, alongside proficiency in soft and hard material drawing, dry brush techniques, engraving portraits on stones, and utilizing epoxy resin in paintings. Particularly, I have honed my craft in portraiture, amassing a wealth of experience in the process.
