Tamara Dobrokhlebova (1963), lives since 1996 in the Netherlands, makes modern still lifes, portraits of people and animals.

For several years she took classes at Atelier Sint Lucas in The Hague with Winny Zwetsloot, conservator and Arjan van Gent, visual artist.

Her paintings are mainly painted in oils according to the techniques of the old masters.
 
For most portraits and still lifes, the grisaille technique was used as an underpainting, after which the final colors were applied in semi-transparent layers.

She gets inspiration for her subjects from her surroundings and distant travels: what fascinates or moves her.
