Tatiana Flis explores subtle, often overlooked spaces through a material-driven practice that centers on surface, form, and spatial tension. Working across sculptural and print-based processes, she focuses on fleeting moments that shape experience yet resist close examination, translating them into visual structures that feel both familiar and abstract.
Through monoprint, collage, and sculpture, Flis builds layered compositions through accumulation and erasure. Translucent layers, diffused edges, and shifting densities create a sense of depth and suspension, while forms hover between abstraction and recognition. Cloud-like structures and fragmented, landscape-like passages recur as visual anchors, establishing a language that is at once atmospheric and tactile.
Her compositions balance restraint and presence, using repetition, fragmentation, and spatial ambiguity to evoke quiet emotional states—curiosity, isolation, and longing—without fixed narrative. Material becomes a means of organizing perception, where surface and space interact to suggest the instability of memory and the passage of time.
Flis earned her MFA in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art, MI, and her BFA in Sculpture and Printmaking from Ringling College of Art and Design, FL. Her work has been featured in Artscope Magazine, Art New England, and Juniper Rag, and reviewed in The Boston Globe. She has participated in art fairs in Boston and Chicago and completed residencies at the Vermont Studio Center and Drop, Forge & Tool. Her work has been widely exhibited and is held in numerous private collections.
