Tatiana Parnaikova's skills as an artist straddle two distinct disciplines. She is a master of traditional photography, completely comfortable with both its modern practices and those of its past, and a contemporary artist who views historical methodologies as tools to express modern sensibilities.

Her latest work has departed wholly from the confines of film and camera, and paints a broader, luxurious image in cyan blue and warm hues of archival white.

Cyanotype has been Tatiana's creative destination for some time, and now she has arrived. She has painstakingly cultivated a unique niche in the rarefied cyanotype medium - her new approach to the old process is original and innovative due to the unexpected reversed ‘positive’ tonality of the prints and their virtually limitless size.

Although the symbolism and content of Tatiana’s work expands well beyond localized representation, the unusual clarity of each highly detailed oversized print as well as the overall complexity of the images makes her work distinct and pioneering.

Tatiana earned a BFA in Photography from Concordia University Montreal Canada after graduating from Dawson Institute of Professional photography with a Patron's award for Outstanding Performance. She is now a full-time artist, curator, and teacher. Born in St.Petersburg, Russia, Tatiana now works and lives in Montreal, Canada.
