Opening: Thought Structures

From ArtUs Co: "Thought Structures reflect on awareness as the space in which thoughts arise. The work explores how inner narratives shape perceived reality, while pointing to a deeper presence beyond them. Through symbolic figures, animals, and constructed environments infused with energy and magic, each piece reveals the moment of seeing clearly. In this awareness, identity softens, and the structures we once lived inside become something we can witness and gently reshape. Tatiana Dolfine is a longtime resident of Austin, Texas with a lifetime of work in the arts. She received her BFA specializing in Art, Film and Animation from the University of Utah, her experiences include working at Austin's PBS, teaching art and animation, showing work at the SXSW community screening, content strategy and design for different organizations, and is currently a resident artist at ArtUs Co. She is expanding her creative contribution by expressing the depth of her internal and external landscapes through her art. She describes, "My art is in this space, but not of this space," conjuring inspiration from mystical dreams and visions to depict her connection to nature and other humans. Artist Statement We create our paradigms based on our experiences and thoughts. I have found that self-awareness of my looping thoughts allows me to shift my reality to see new layers of meaning. My art connects me to my sensitive child-like wonder creating magical, imaginative visual stories. Using oil over mixed media, I create abstracted realities with flowing lines, shapes and forms. Nature inspires my meditative creative process depicting metamorphosis. I am discovering healing through my painting process and I hope the viewer will join me and find new layers of magic in my fairytale."
