Music of the Spheres (2012) Painting by Tatjana Gurbo

Tatjana Gurbo is a contemporary painter born and based in Riga, the capital of Latvia. She received her professional education at the Teachers' Training Art School in the Voronezh region of Russia and furthered her studies with Drawing and Art History courses at the Latvian Academy of Arts. Gurbo continues to paint while also running an art studio that engages people of all ages.

Her work reflects the interactions within the world, with a central theme of complementarities. Gurbo employs two distinct but complementary styles. The first is surrealism, with a clear influence from Salvador Dalí, though her paintings uniquely combine classical and surrealistic elements. Her art features traditional images of women, shells, and geometric figures alongside surrealistic and occasionally abstract lines, spots, and color compositions. Unlike many modern trends, her work does not oppose nature but integrates diverse elements harmoniously.

A significant genre in Gurbo's work is still life, where she applies the principle of complementarities. Her paintings juxtapose unexpected old and modern objects, reflecting the interactions between the movable and immovable, ancient and contemporary, materialistic and idealistic aspects of the real world.

Gurbo's paintings have been showcased in over 80 exhibitions across various countries, including Latvia, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Ukraine, and the USA. Her works are held in private collections in Latvia, Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, Estonia, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Spain, the USA, and Poland.
