  • “When Death finds you, may it find you ALIVE!”, 4ftx4ft acrylic/ fabric painting
    “When Death finds you, may it find you ALIVE!”, 4ftx4ft acrylic/ fabric painting

    This piece is about coming to terms with my mortality. At first, the painting was supposed to capture the one thing I fear most, DEATH. I think the scariest part about our untimely departure is the unknown. And it wasn’t your usual fear of being sent to heaven or hell, but whether we were just thrown into pitch-black darkness that plagued my mind. However, while painting, It has greatly eased that fear into the admiration of the beauty of living life, growing old & wise heading towards eternal slumber. There is beauty in Death, just as much as there's beauty in life.

About Tatiana

Life is art. Art is my life, and creating my art saved my life. Growing up in South Carolina was not easy or for the faint of heart. I was raised by my great aunt and uncle because my father was in prison, and my mother suffers from mental illness. There are many stigmas about the South, and many of them impacted my development. I am a 26-year-old black queer woman and am engaged to another black queer woman as well. Navigating my sexuality was definitely confusing and isolating. I had no… more

For Those Who See Me: Through The Thicket and All (part 1)

 So I have to set some things straight about my projects before you view them. For starters, my name is Tatiana, but my artist name is Bunny Blu333. And I’m from a little town, called St. George far in the country of South Carolina. Living on a dirt road filled with sand. That’s the closest I’ve ever gotten to a desert. The reason why there are so many cactuses is because they have a dual meaning. My aunt, Mama used to grow cactuses & roses. She grew other plants, but I’d like to think that those were her favorite plants. So the cactuses in the desert-like area pay Homage to my home. 

        The yellow has a deeper meaning because I’m a sucker for symbolism and putting tiny details in My works for you to decipher. Although the colors seemingly bring some joy, they also resemble clarity, Cowardice, and many other things as well. I chose to use this color because it has multiple meanings of being truthful or being dishonest. All my life, I have been somewhat dishonest with the people in my life, whether it be for the benefit of my own or them. But is it truly cowardice to want to hide and protect oneself !? 

 

             As for why I don’t paint clothes on myself in most of the Pieces, is because it’s too restricting. Whether in real life or on the canvas, it’s more freeing. I feel empowered, taking back the shame that was placed on my body when I was younger. Embracing my beautiful, black body, stretch marks, and all. I invite you to view the work with an open mind open heart, and make sure you look twice cause you might’ve missed something.

    “Hold on tight & cry till you can’t no more” Acrylic painting,2024

    This piece represents healing My inner child, and teenager as an adult. When I was younger, I felt like I didn’t have the support system, I felt helpless in my own pain. As I got older, I started to help nurture my inner child and teen. Through therapy, retail sometimes, venting,chatting & drinking with friends I hold close. holding myself tight while I scream out till I’m horse and out of tears. Reaffirming that my feelings are valid, that my traumas are valid, but they do not make me. This is not to say that I have truly found the key to fixing anything, I just learned how to manage it a lot better.
