About Tanja - Tanja Stadnic

Tanja was born in the Moldovan city of Beltsy. She was never happier than when drawing, even from an extremely tender age. So much so, even, that her parents permitted her to attend an art school for young children. Gradually her love of drawing blossomed into a profound passion for art in general. A passion that led to a course at the Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts, where she discovered the irrefutable painter within. In the years that she’s since been active as an artist, Tanja has developed her own instantly recognizable style, a style that’s reflected in both her figurative and abstract works. She harnesses a variety of different techniques, in which the combined use of knife and brush is a recurring theme. Tanja likes to apply a generous amount of paint, creating relief structures that literally emerge from the canvas. She also plays a sophisticated game with colors to extraordinary effect.

As an artist, Tanja Stadnic is inspired by subtle, yet powerful contrasts in color, shape and theme. Her work is characterized by an almost universal beauty and quality, and a pervasive and unmistakable hint of mystery. “The mystery is what fascinates me. It will always play a role in my work.”

“You feel and experience the hidden promise within”

Tanja’s approach is highly intuitive. She’s largely guided by her mood and inspiration of the moment, particularly in her abstract work. Of her most expressive work, which is typically alive with color, movement, rhythm and contrast, Tanja says: “It’s what the viewer makes of it. You feel and experience the hidden promise within.” Tanja Stadnic’s work enriches and warms. It should therefore come as no surprise that her canvases grace the walls of admirers, both professional and private, all over the the world. In addition to her own personal projects, Tanja also works on commissioned assignments. For these, she invariably goes out of her way to personally discuss the client’s precise wishes and expectations in advance.
