Taisiia Khokhlova
Taisiia is a visual artist based in Finland. For her, nature is not simply a subject, but a way of understanding emotion. She is drawn to the quiet parallels between the natural world and human experience, believing that the same subtle moods and states of being can be found in both. Working primarily in oil, she creates paintings that explore this relationship through atmosphere, colour, and expressive surfaces. Rather than presenting fixed narratives, her work invites contemplation and personal interpretation. Her paintings encourage viewers to pause, reflect, and rediscover a sense of connection with nature and, through it, with themselves. This exhibition explores the relationship between inner emotional landscapes and nature. Rather than serving as a backdrop, nature becomes a living presence that reflects different moods and states of being. The works move between the human figure and nature, allowing each to become the emotional voice of the painting. In some, the figure is central, while nature extends and echoes the inner world. In others, nature gradually takes the leading role, and the figure becomes a quiet presence or disappears altogether, inviting the viewer to step into its place. Richly textured surfaces deepen this dialogue, giving physical presence to the movement, atmosphere, and vitality of the natural world. Together, the works invite viewers to experience nature not simply as a landscape, but as an emotional presence with a voice of its own. Visit Narayan’s and see the in store price list.
