«Verses from the Japanese Cycle»
As if the autumn wind
Had lightly touched the zither's strings...
Only a faint echo,
Yet the heart is already stirred
By the memory of love.
Had lightly touched the zither's strings...
Only a faint echo,
Yet the heart is already stirred
By the memory of love.
Mibu-no Tadamine

It was the autumn wind that touched the strings ever so lightly...
With their faint echo, the heart is so stirred.
Like a familiar motif from long-ago youth,
The first tremor of love—a sweet-sounding scherzo.

A long-forgotten melody and verse
Sing in the soul at the wind's softest breath,
Or from a withered petal's gentle drift...
Their echo in the heart has not grown still.

...And in the heart the melodies of old will sound,
And suddenly, memories will pierce me through...
But life is a spiral, not a flat and level ring,
And to the past, alas, there is no return.
...And in the heart the melodies of old will sound,
And suddenly, memories will pierce me through...
But life is a spiral, not a flat and level ring,

Tatyana Aleksandrovna Gorbachevskaya
Artist, art historian
Tatyana Aleksandrovna Gorbachevskaya was born on April 21, 1971, in the small military town of Priozersk on the shores of Lake Balkhash, Kazakhstan.
A year later, her father, an officer, was transferred to serve in Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk. After a few years in Siberia, the family moved to Kyiv, Ukraine, and then to Gomel, Belarus, where Tatyana completed secondary school and gained her first artistic experience.
She honed her professional skills at the Glebov Gomel Art College, affiliated with the Belarusian State Academy of Arts, majoring in easel painting, and graduated with honors in 1996. In 2003, she graduated with honors from the Belarusian State University of Culture and Arts in Minsk, majoring in Culturology.
In 2003, she moved to the United States with her family. She traveled extensively across the country, studying its culture and becoming acquainted with American artistic traditions, while continuing to paint, developing and refining her visual style. Her brush gave rise to urban landscapes painted from life in oil and acrylic, as well as portraits. It was also here that Tatyana Gorbachevskaya gained her first experience participating in prestigious art competitions. At the same time, she has not lost touch with Belarus, regularly returning to conduct master classes for the local watercolor community and participating in art events and thematic meetings.
She currently lives and works in the USA. She is a member of the Union of Artists, Composers, and Writers of America, a member of the New York artists' association «Pen & Brush, Inc», and a member of the «Studio Montclair» artists' union in New Jersey, USA.
