Main Street Hyde Park NY by Tatiana Rhinevault

Tatiana Rhinevault was born in Moscow and spent much of her childhood playing in Sokolniki Park, watching artists paint day-in and day-out. Because of her exposure to Moscow’s many museums, theaters, and art studios, the arts played a huge role in her childhood and, ultimately, in her paintings. After earning her Masters Degree in Art from the Moscow Institute, she found work restoring icons in Moscow’s old churches and, often, painted new ones. She visited and painted in many countries throughout Europe, including Hungary, Yugoslavia, Spain, Holland, France, and Italy. Tatiana’s love of all of the Renaissance Arts is reflected in her work. Most of her paintings include a musical instrument or score, paintbrushes or palette or literature of some kind. More specifically, she often includes paintings within her paintings. Tatiana works in several mediums including watercolor, acrylic and oil, and utilizes rich dark colors in combination with diffused window light to create a calming but magnetic space. She creates windows through which one can see the old streets and monuments of Europe. In 1990 she met her husband while working on The English Map of Moscow for the US Embassy. She moved with him to the United States and resides in Hyde Park, New York with their son.
