== Artistic work ==
The basis of Tetyana Yahogdkina’s works is the classical realistic school of painting. The artist transformed her perception of the world into her own style of painting and techniques, which became a unique feature of Tetyana’s work. The field of experiment in the combination of classics and abstraction for her is landscape, still life and portrait.
The colour chords, which the artist carefully selects, are emotionally bright and robust. Thanks to laconic and monumental compositions, Tetyana’s works are not overloaded with unnecessary details, are full of mood, emotion and, at the same time, are minimalistic.
