Artwork Description

Inspired by watching the sun rise over the vast Mongolian steppe and getting a taste of nomadic life, “Sunrise” captures the energizing glow of daybreak. This vibrant abstract painting embodies the sky’s fiery awakening, translating a quiet, personal moment into a bold visual experience.
Created with a mix of spray paint, acrylic, and hand-sewn textiles on canvas, the artwork radiates layers of pink and purple that evoke the shifting light of early morning. Tarli’s hand-stitching introduces depth and movement, while soft spray paint gradients and structured acrylic brushwork create a dynamic interplay of texture and light. As the day begins, the piece comes alive—much like the world at sunrise.

Artist Bio

Driven by a deep love of travel and discovery, Tarli draws creative inspiration from her surroundings—both built and natural. Her intuitive approach allows her to reimagine these environments through simplified lines, bold color palettes, layered textures, and intricate patterns, blurring the lines between abstraction and representation.

Her practice is defined by a striking contrast in materials. Tarli combines the immediacy of spray paint and acrylics with the slow, tactile process of hand sewing. This juxtaposition not only highlights the tension between speed and craft but also introduces a rich, textural dimension to her pieces.

Creativity has been a lifelong pursuit for Tarli. Growing up with a mother who is also an artist, she spent countless hours in the studio experimenting with various materials and techniques—an early immersion that continues to shape her innovative and exploratory practice today.
