I am
Tarciane Bilinski
When you grow up dancing with butterflies, performing in front of the mirror, and shedding tears over movie scenes, becoming an artist feels almost inevitable.
Welcome to my World!
I wanted to summarize my journey up to this point, but the moment I begin writing on a blank page, it feels less like a portrayal and more like a real conversation—both with you and with my future self. And conversations like that can’t be rushed; they need time to unfold.
Background, Technique and Inspiration
I hold a degree in Visual Arts and have been passionate about photography and painting ever since.
My work has been exhibited and sold in Brazil, England, and New Zealand, and now I opening the doors to sell all around the globe.
I also earned a postgraduate diploma in Interior Design and have taken part in numerous workshops and programs that enriched my artistic journey.
I primarily work with acrylics and mixed media, creating expressive emotional portraits and abstract compositions. My style is rich in color and contrast, often evoking a dreamlike atmosphere touched with hints of romanticism.
Each piece is an extension of my eyes and soul.
I draw inspiration from the beauty of nature, the elegance of the female form, fashion design, and the expressive movement of dance.
Growing and keep going
I am proudly Brazilian—carrying within me all the colors, flavors, and rhythms of my culture—but I am also a Kiwi at heart.
In 2016, I moved to New Zealand with my beloved husband, Marlon, who is my greatest supporter and constant source of encouragement. It's in honor of him and our children that I now sign my pieces as Tassef.
We live on Auckland's North Shore, raising and cherishing our two wonderful children. Together, we are writing a beautiful story.
There is nothing more precious to me than sharing life with these incredible souls I love so deeply.
When I'm not in my studio I work as an art teacher in the community, where I share my passion and help others express their creativity. I have a special place in my heart for working with seniors, offering them not just a space to create but a chance to connect, reminisce, and feel valued through the joy of artistic expression.
I also volunteer in a variety of local projects, finding joy and purpose in giving back and building meaningful relationships.
