Tania Milocevic (Stihina) is a Russian artist, musician and teacher. She also works as a commercial illustrator. The paintings and graphic works of this artist reveal her talent from different sides. Expressive manner prevails in painting, at the same time in graphics she tends to an accurate, generalized, and sometimes photographic manner of execution.

Many of Tania’s works are inspired by music. Portraits of favorite musicians are lively and moving images made with contrasting colors.

“The Dreamlike” diptych is completely different. This is a subtle, surreal narrative that immerses the viewers in a mystical experience as they look at the details.

Tania“s special mystical paintings also include the work 'Nomadic Rivers”. This work shows slowly floating white spirits, immersing the viewers in a trance state.

Not only real characters appear in Tania“s works, but also fictional ones (for example, 'Fishing everyday life of Judith Fisher” graphic series). This is a graphic made in bright and contrasting colors, with a precisely calibrated balance of large planes and meticulously worked out details.

Tania says the following about her mysterious characters: “Some of them come to me in dreams, some — immediately on paper, and I can”t appropriate myself any such work. This is what goes through me, speaks through me.'

The wide range of tools that this artist possesses allows her to remain interesting to the viewer and each time find new expressive means to embody her ideas.
