Tania Small, Johanna's Kitchen, 2025
Oil on linen panel, 45x35cm framed
Tania Small is a Sunshine Coast Hinterland based Australian artist. Focusing primarily on still life paintings, Tania draws inspiration from the sentiment and memory attached to everyday objects. Using multiple layering techniques and precise detail, Tania achieves a level of realism in her paintings which connects a viewer to a moment of time and to an emotion.
Her current works are heavily influenced by French antiques and market places having in recent years attended two separate Atelier Artist in Residency placements in France. The first in 2023 at Chateau Bouthonvilliers in Dangeau and the most recent at Chateau de Cerisay in the Sarthe region in 2025.
Tania has been a finalist in several major Australian art prizes including the Lethbridge Small Scale Art Award (2026 Finalist, 2025 Highly Commended and 2024 Finalist), the Du Reitz Art Awards (2026), the Kennedy Art Prize (2024), Stanthorpe Art Prize (2024), Brisbane Rotary Art Prize (2024 and 2023), and Redland Art Award (2022). Artworks of Tania Small are currently held by private collectors in homes and businesses in Australia, Sweden, Prague, Hong Kong and London.
I am drawn to the emotional connection of seemingly ordinary objects and domestic spaces — the quiet moments and familiar items that, when truly observed, hold deep personal meaning. Through still life painting, I seek to elevate these everyday forms into reflections on connection, presence, and lived experience. Each composition I create is arranged not only for their aesthetic qualities; they represent moments remembered, places visited, and emotions felt. I invite viewers to bring their own histories and memories to the painting, allowing their personal narratives to connect with the work.
I draw inspiration from objects found in home interiors, markets, antique stores, and places discovered throughout my travels. Using multiple layering techniques and translucent glazes in oil paint, I build light, depth, and texture to create a sense of atmosphere and quiet stillness. Through this process, my still life paintings become meditations on time and place, memory and sentiment.
