Taisiya Shvetsova’s painting is at times
reverent and vulnerable and sometimes monumental and simple
has some unexplainable latent feelings whose power can’t but
impress everyone. The gift of God is combined in the
paintress with the untutored modesty, creative fertility,
craving for beauty and the complete absence of academic
artistic education. However, this makes her pictures more
original and interesting. The everlasting search and doubts
make her find new subjects for her pictures, immersing us
into this festival given by the generous hand of Taisiya
Alexandrovna Shvetsova.
