“Tatjana Pozdnjakov’s expressive painting is a projection of her inner music into her artistic creations – from dark portraits and narrow streets of Priština to visual fortissimo of saturated colors of faraway mountain peaks above pacific beaches.”

From Cedomir Vasić's review:
"The rich artistic development of Tatjana Pozdnjakov speaks of searching for and finding music in one's own being and work, of achieving harmony with one's own nature in a spontaneous and unpretentious way, in accordance with one's inner faith and sense of measure for what one does. With her artistic work, she paid back her creativity and made an undoubted contribution to the richness of our artistic life."
