The range of genres is diverse and includes painting, landscape, portrait, everyday life. Tatyana Nazarenko creates a special pictorial reality in which time and history are categories producing an integral space focused on a human.

Among her works exhibited in Yaroslavl there are bright, mysterious, sometimes devoid of actions paintings dedicated to the carnival in Venice speaking the language of allegories. One can also see famous fake figures from the Transition installation. "I have always been interested in people, I can not turn my back on someone else's grief", - says Nazarenko. "To make people think, to encourage them to be sympathetic is the main goal of my work".

Tatyana Nazarenko works a lot and enthusiastically, is actively involved in the exhibition activity in Russia and other countries. Her work constantly changes obtaining new shapes, intonations and always remains relevant.
