Tatiana Wolska

Â©Simon Blackley

Anchored in an approach of economy of means, the practice of Tatiana Wolska is based on repetition and assembling. The world of life is consubstantial with the artist's universe: with infinite patience and meticulous work, she weaves, sculpts and draws membranes inspired by the animal or vegetable world, organic volumes that seem to move on themselves. In her drawing work as well as in her sculptures, she creates intuitive forms, which are built up over time, where she combines the weight of materials with the lightness of forms.

"The living is consubstantial with the graphic universe of the artist who, with infinite patience, weaves, sculpts, and draws membranes inspired by the animal and vegetable world", by Bertrand Dumas, in 8 clefs pour comprendre ce qu'est un chef d'oeuvre en dessin, in L'Oeil, april 2016
