Tatyana Laska

The Art master.Where art becomes a conversation.Tatyana is a monumental painter and mosaic artist with a rare ability to turn any space and any moment into something meaningful.Her presence is calm, grounded, and quietly powerful: the kind of presence that makes you exhale without noticing.She is a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Arts at St Petersburg State University, with decades of experience in teaching, research, restoration, and international exhibitions.Her work ranges from intricate mosaics for sacred spaces to playful clay sculptures created together with her son.She is equally at home in academic art history, traditional craftsmanship, and experimental contemporary practice.What defines her most, however, is not her professional journey but the way she meets people.If you arrive scattered or overwhelmed, she will simply clear a corner of the table, offer you a brush, a piece of clay, or a moment of silence, and stay next to you until something inside you settles.Her home has always been a studio, a refuge, and a place for honest conversations.Students, friends, and guests come to paint, argue about ideas, ask difficult questions, or sit quietly next to a canvas coming to life.At Novavis, Tatyana brings her lifelong belief that art is not a performance, but a dialogue a way to process, explore, and reconnect with yourself.In her workshops, you are not asked to “be artistic”; you are invited to notice what happens when your hands start to shape color or form.With her, creativity becomes a gentle path back to clarity, presence, and inner steadiness.
