About

Tatiana aka “Red Persik’ was born in the small town Rzhavki, which is
consonant with the word “Rust” in Russian language. Not having any
classes in drawing, swimming or sports, the biggest entertainment was to play in puddles, build little ecosystems, construct islands out of mud and sand, and of course make cozy nests with grass for her plastic dinosaurs. Undoubtedly, the love for majestic reptiles like Dragons appeared already at that time and as a hobby Red was building whole dragon kingdoms out of plasticine. With the transition to adolescence, the hobby was abandoned, but with the end of school there was a question of what to do with her life, what
to live on and how to earn a piece of bread.

Realizing that it does not suit her to fit into the classic system of
human life. She begins her own thing, a favorite of her childhood, just
sculpting dragons under the pseudonym of “RedPersik. Searching for any
sculptural materials on foreign resources, she slowly but surely
improves her skill on her own in isolation. After a while, many admirers
of her work come around. Though she’s had many thoughts about moving
away from the dragon theme, it doesn’t want to let her go. 

“On
the one hand, it’s kind of a prison, on the other hand, you can get so
much through the image of the dragon. I went into human plastic anatomy,
I didn’t sculpt people afterwards, but I got a better understanding of
how muscles work and was able to convey my images more naturally. I can
admire the texture of wood and display it in a dragon. Show feminine
elegance and charm. A man’s strength and confidence. The dragon is a
very versatile chimera.”

In 2022, because of the political situation in the country, Tatiana
decided to leave her country and collected documents to apply for a visa
to France. “I had no exhibitions, no education, I don’t even really
consider myself an artist, I didn’t believe France would approve my
visa.” However, a week later, going to get her passport without much hope, opening the envelope there was a stamp “Passport Talent” allowing to start a new life in french alps.

Today, Tatiana lives among the most beautiful alps in Grenoble and is
building her future, thanks to the dragons who have guarded her since
childhood in her life’s journey.

Tatiana’s work is inspired by nature,
people, and life. In her works she always likes to play with
composition, making the sculptures dynamic and graceful. She uses
polymer clay and acrylic painting as materials. Sometimes she finds
especially ancient objects at flea markets and implements the image to
match them.
