It is sense of proportion, a balance between occupied and free space, that creates harmony and a compositional perfection in architecture, sculpture, painting, music, theatre, and cinema… Embracing this concept changes perspectives, and works miracles. © Tatiana Skorlupkina Tatyana Skorlupkina is a musician, artist, composer, director, animator, and screenwriter, and the creator of a new ‘art of the screen’. Her innovative cinematic works lead viewers into a world come alive, where genres are transformed and interwoven; here, images are music, music is images, and literary works both ‘vibrate and narrate’. Themes and characters from individual canvases and films migrate to others, always trying on new roles. The imagination and compositional virtuosity of artist and musician Tatiana Skorlupkina intermingle with the irony and bravery of writer Fedor Sever (Tatiana’s literary pseudonym), resulting in the remarkable creative tandems of her films, animations, and multimedia projects.

After earning her degree, she performed with several Russian philharmonic orchestras and theatres and continued her education at the distance learning school of the Petrozavodsk State Glazunov Conservatory.
