TATIANA LUZHBININA
artist - illustrator - calligrapher
Info & contacts
I am a professional graphic artist and designer, was born in the small Siberian town of Zima located in the greater Irkutsk area. The town, which means “winter” in Russian, is where I completed high school while simultaneously studying at a specialized evening art school.
In 1993, I was accepted at the Irkutsk Art College of Kopylova, at the Faculty of Design and Decorative Arts, where I underwent courses of easel painting, academic drawing, composition, history of art, and colour science. I was a member of the "Club of Young Graphic Designers" (Irkutsk) and participated in several exhibitions organized by the club at the Union of Artists.
In 2003, I moved to St. Petersburg (Russia), where I continued my creative activities and my work as a designer. Since 2010, I have regularly held yearly solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions in Switzerland, Ticino.
In 2011, I was invited to participate in a joint international exhibition in Montalbano, organized by the Swiss bank "Raiffeisen", where my work received positive reviews from critics. That same year, I was one of the exhibitors who opened the conference "Russian Week in Switzerland", dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Gagarin's space flight. I have also used my talent and creativity to create illustrations for books, including children’s books.
In March 2015, I entered the Wonkwang University (South Korea) at the Faculty of Calligraphy (Master course) where I am studying Chinese and Korean calligraphy, language and history of Asian art.
My graphic works are in private collections in different countries: the United States, Switzerland, Russia, Sweden, Italy, Japan, Finland, Croatia, South Korea and others.
