Tatiana Kashtalyan is a Belarusian pastellist and industrial designer who paints flowers and landscapes.
“The most important thing for an artist is his idea, his vision of the world around him and what he wants to show to the viewer. I think that the artist’s work is the artist’s soul.”
She is from Belarus and works as an industrial designer, but in her spare time she pursues creative work. She is inspired by nature, flowers, and architecture, and she reflects these themes in her art. She participated in exhibitions of pastel technique organized by the NSP (Russia) in 2019 and 2020. Her works are privately owned in Europe and the USA, and she also cooperates with an online school where she records lessons on pastel technique. She used to paint with watercolors, but now her favorite medium is pastel, which she says gives very great possibilities in technique.

She often applies watercolor techniques to her pastel work, creating soft shading and using a mixed technique with watercolor imprimatura on pastel mat paper. She loves complex shades of pink, purple, gray-pink, and gray-green. She believes the artist’s work is the artist’s soul, and she advises beginners not to be afraid to experiment and to look for inspiration around them.
