A series of paintings using maps of different countries
A series of paintings "Maps"
In the concept of the Maps series Tatiana Sirius invites the viewer to think about the question "how the place of birth and place of life affect the character, his fate and social activity".
For the background of the portraits the artist uses a collage of maps of the area where the character was born, lived, or spent some important part of his or her life.
Street art project with playing cards
"Street eyes"
The "Street Eyes" project is a street art project by artist Tatiana Sirius, exploring the urban environment through observation. The project is based on a series of playing cards featuring the artist's eyes, which she places in various cities and countries. To date, the cards have been placed in 20 cities in Russia, the USA, the UK, Germany, Jamaica, Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Greece, and Costa Rica.
These eyes become symbolic surveillance cameras, recording the life of the city, its changes, rhythms, and random events. They are the artist's gaze, dispersed across the world, turning Tatiana into a silent witness to urban life.
The use of playing cards adds an element of randomness and unpredictability, emphasizing the idea that urban space is constantly changing. The "Street Eyes" project invites viewers to consider: who is watching us, and to what extent are we aware of the presence of hidden eyes in the urban landscape?
Illustration project for my poems using the Midjourney neural network
Project "Midjourney poetry"
For the project, I chose 10 of my poems written between 2016 and 2022. In order for the neural network to understand the poetic language, I reduced the poems to theses and images used in them. Then I translated them into English and started playing with the neural network, experimenting with word order and synonyms. The project includes 10 poems with the most understandable for the machine intelligence word images, which are realistic to visualize. I fully relied on the neural network to choose the artistic style, with no restrictions. Two illustrations were generated for some of the poems, I could not choose which one I liked better.
Below are the resulting illustrations and the text of the poems in Russian and a free translation of the poems into English.
