Tania Strelbitscaya is part of the list of the Best Russian contemporary artists (ARTEEX). Strelbitscaya is a recognized master of expressionism. In her large-scale canvases, she explores the theme of the state of mind of a person of the 21st century, who miraculously preserved the ability to take pain and suffering of his contemporaries to heart in the postmodern context. Her images are the products of a society of total alienation, having passed through all the circles of inner hell and realizing the full depth of the catastrophe. Strelbitscaya's images represent a whole community of confused martyrs and sufferers. The space where they live is painfully reminiscent of Kamaloka - something like a purgatory, a kind of astral storehouse and distributor of rebellious souls. It is there that the entire range of existing energy vectors accumulates, which oscillate among themselves in many directions, leveling out the most irreconcilable opposites in our consciousness and turning any axiom into a whole constellation of meanings. The artist interprets the human incarnation as a series of endless metamorphoses - as evidenced by their deformation in full accordance with the canons of expressionism as a style that most adequately conveys emotional sensations from the everyday life around us. On the other hand, the dynamics of kinks and distortions symbolizes the ordeal and Calvary as the path to divine salvation. Strelbitscaya is also the author and creator of her theatrical workshop, where, as a stage director and artist, she represents the tradition of expressionism, which is quite rare for Russian culture. In her "nervous" compositions, the imagery of German cinema of the 1920s shines through, the Prague-Vienna school of poetry, together with the visual and semantic revelations of Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke, and, of course, the post-war pictorial evidence of the German "new wild".
