Original artwork description:

Hockney painted pools.
I paint the moment they catch fire.
Respect isn’t imitation⁠, it’s a dialogue with the past, answered in my own colors.
What if we burn the frame?

ABOUT SERIES :

In her current series, Tanna explores the intimacy of a woman’s everyday moments,
capturing simple gestures imbued with profound meaning. By portraying herself as
the model, she seamlessly fuses the roles of creator and subject, transforming her
body into both material and medium. This approach is born of necessity rather than
constraint, as no other model could embody the envisioned gestures and postures
with such accuracy and proximity. Through this deeply personal method, she invites
viewers to connect with a shared emotional experience, resonating with the inner
lives of women everywhere.

Tanna’s creative process is guided by spontaneity and intuition, with a carefully
chosen color palette. Shades of blue dominate her figures, symbolizing the depth and fragility of human intimacy. These dreamlike hues contrast with the warm tones of her backgrounds, evoking a duality between a rich, emotional inner world and an often distant, colder outer world. This tension reflects the struggle between the search for inner calm and the external forces that shape existence.

Rejecting realism, Tanna focuses on capturing an atmosphere or fleeting impression
rather than reproducing life as it appears. Through fluid brushstrokes and dripping
effects, she evokes a sense of lightness and movement, where forms often dissolve
into abstraction, inviting the viewer’s interpretation.

Her technique, based on delicate layering, aligns with the principles of
Metamodernism, which celebrates personal expression and authenticity while
challenging traditional artistic conventions. Tanna’s art is firmly rooted in this movement, prioritizing intimacy and individuality. Each painting becomes a space for
imagination, inviting viewers to question, reflect, and engage emotionally.
At the core of Tanna’s work lies a belief in the beauty of ordinary moments—a gesture, a glance, or a posture. Through portraits of everyday actions, such as selecting a dress or reading a message on a phone, she reveals the significance of daily life as both universal and unique. These often-overlooked gestures become the essence of her powerful, emotional expression.

Through her work, Tanna strives to transcend the personal while remaining deeply
rooted in her own experiences. She reminds us that every woman carries within her a vast inner world—uniquely her own, yet deeply reflective of the collective
experiences of all women.
