Nikolay Taranda
My native Belarusian land and its nature have always been the source of inspiration for me. It is the land where I live and work. I paint various landscapes: hills and plains, ancient temples and village buildings, magnificent trees silhouettes and roads stretching into the distance... I strive to reflect their unique beauty in my canvases. For me, life and creative work are inseparable.

Taranda
Nikolay Taranda brings a lot of new into our understanding of painting artistry. Being a born painter and a master of colour, he is not afraid to turn to the landscape motifs depicted earlier by other artists and he paints them like nobody else, feeling the uniqueness of the life of nature. With the magnificent play of colours and the effects of light and shade he makes his landscapes sound like music.

Having found his place in the mosaic of styles, Nikolay Taranda asserts his own realistic approach towards the «natural vision» concept. The corporeality of the image, the density of texture, colour intensity are all in his palette. His painting is not merely the rhythm of colourful spots covering the canvas, but the inner image being born in the artist during his creative work, the spontaneity of his perception of nature and the admiration of its beauty.
