Miriam Tajcherok defines herself as a painter with an old soul, connected more to the 19th century atmosphere than the present. An abandoned chateau, preferably in France, with a forgotten garden, would be the perfect place for her studio. But it’s the 21st century…. and here it is.

She firmly believes in the traditional technique of oil painting, considering it the only medium that can achieve a certain aesthetic weight. That’s why she devotes himself to perfecting her craft, paying attention to detail and working long hours, racing against the light of day. The unique choice of colors, the final touches made with tiny brushes using varnish make her paintings expressive and noble.

The main theme of her work is time. Melancholy lurks in all her designs. Próbując uchwycić to, co ostatecznie zniknie, maluje portrety o intensywnej obecności psychologicznej. In an attempt to capture what will eventually disappear, she paints portraits with an intense psychological presence. When she takes up a topic, she surrenders to it completely. Therefore, her output consists of several large series. This goes hand in hand with her passion for exploring the subject in order to refine the result. Everything she does can be linked to an intimate experience.

“I measure my life by my paintings. They are the ones that lead the way. I call the style of my works Personal Realism. I spend most of my day in the studio. I need time and space to put myself in the meditative state that my creative process requires. I consciously break away from the mainstream and turn my gaze to the old masters. Balthus continues to be the one who stimulates my imagination the most. I romantically long for the days of the Ecole de Paris. And when I feel exhausted from fighting modernity, I take myself on a trip to Paris. With art, life is never boring!”
