Tatjana Krizmanic’s brilliant pastel drawings and oil paintings depict ordinary life with a distinctly European sensibility. Her work is marked by a warm cheerfulness, where bright colors and swirling perspectives make ordinary settings come alive. She brings a touch of magic to everyday scenes, such as a trip to the farmers’ market or morning coffee. Surreal and inventive, her work recalls Bonnard,Chagall, Klimt, Matisse, Picasso - influences she grew up with. Born in Zagreb, Croatia, Tatjana began painting at age fourteen, under tutelage of prominent Croatian painter Nikola Reiser. After studying at the University of Zagreb, and Georgetown University, she moved to Boulder, Colorado. Over the next ten years she created paintings for friends and patrons, while working as an art director. Since her first exhibit in Boulder, Colorado, she has built a strong following, and her paintings reside in numerous private collections and museums around the world. Her work is exhibited in galleries in United States, Canada, Europe and Japan. Krizmanic divides her time between her studios on the Adriatic Coast and Colorado's Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
