This abstract painting depicts a waterfront cityscape illuminated by evening lights. Colorful reflections shimmer across the water. Palette knife strokes build the city through layers of red, orange, blue, and yellow.
About the Artist
Russian-born Tatiana Iliina lives in Montreal and has sold paintings to collectors all over the world. She works with both abstract and representational compositions, with many pieces falling somewhere in between. Some of Tatiana’s paintings could be interpreted as a landscape or a cityscape, or a non-representational articulation of color, giving the viewer the opportunity to make independent decisions about the work. Her long brushstrokes and painterly style are created using a palette knife, resulting in richly textured canvases. Working in a range of colors from muted grays to bold blues, vibrant purples, and glowing oranges, Tatiana’s portfolio reflects an array of moods while maintaining a focus on her iconic style.

In this abstract, I play with the vibrant pink/mauve and electric center, grounding it with deep reds, rust and beiges and then cooling it all with a splash of deep blue.
