“Curating this exhibition of Tatiana Zayseva’s work has been an ongoing source of inspiration, as her art is deeply anchored in dialogue creation. Whether visual, imagined, or tactile, this dialogue is the lifeblood of her artistic process. For Zayseva, art transcends mere expression; it evolves into a dynamic platform for interaction where ideas, emotions, and perspectives converge.

Tatiana’s work resonates profoundly with the philosophical foundations that have shaped her creative journey. Drawing from her academic background in philosophy, she has embraced Socrates’s notion that ‘Truth is born in dispute.’ However, Zayseva’s art moves beyond the pursuit of conflict; instead, the pursuit of dialogue defines her practice. In her work, dialogue is not an end but a catalyst for the emergence of something new—an invitation to explore the boundaries of understanding and perception.

Her art engages with a diverse spectrum of interlocutors—whether historical masters, nature, specific artworks, or her own internal reflections. Each piece she creates is a conversation, a moment of exchange in which the viewer is invited to participate. This dialogic approach makes her work intimate and expansive, drawing the viewer into a shared space of exploration and discovery.

Zayseva’s art is a testament to the belief that we can transcend the ordinary and catch a glimpse of the extraordinary through dialogue. Her work encourages us to question, reflect, and engage in thoughtful exchanges that lead to new insights and deeper understanding. As a curator, it is a privilege to present her work, knowing that each piece is an open-ended conversation, awaiting continuation by those who encounter it.”
