Tatiana Podmarkova
Tatiana Podmarkova (b. 1973, Prokopyevsk) is a Russian artist and painter. She graduated from the Novokuznetsk School of Arts, in the studio of Igor Bessonov. Tatiana Podmarkova lives and works in Saint Petersburg. At the core of her work lies the image of the body as matter – subject to transformation, decay, and renewal. She employs the classical language of painting as a way to piece together a disintegrated world and to create images that exist beyond time.
Podmarkova often works on a large scale, forming a dense, “corporeal” skin of the canvas by layering bandages over the ground, thereby enhancing tactility and the effect of a “wounded” surface.

Since 2007 she has collaborated with the “Nepokorennye” studio in Saint Petersburg and since then has actively participated in exhibitions, working with RuArts Gallery (Moscow), “Atelier No. 2” (Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art, Moscow), and AL Gallery (Saint Petersburg). Her works have repeatedly been included in museum and international programs. The recent project “Burnout” at the Sarai Gallery of the Anna Akhmatova Museum (Saint Petersburg, 2025, curated by Pyotr Belyi) marks a new stage – from the “deconstruction of the classical” toward a freer, twilight flora of images.
