Tikhomirova works in oil technique and watercolour. She prefers the following genres: still life, landscape and portrait. Her style is that of impressionistic realism. Having been trained in classical tradition, the painter draws inspiration from the perfection of nature. She believes that increasing the amount of beauty in the world should be the main target of any artist. In her own words:"A painting, hanging on the wall in your home, should bring you delight, tune you to the finer feelings, tease your imagination. When I come across a well-painted picture, carefully matched colours, wittily balanced composition, true visual feast, it gives me almost physical pleasure. That's how I try to paint myself."
