Half-light Painting

Tam Chianta is a visual artist based in London. She has a BA (Hons) Degree in Fine Art and Art History from Goldsmiths, University of London. She has exhibited in galleries across the capital. "I create vibrant abstract paintings with flowing brushstrokes that blend primary colours into unpredictable combinations. These intertwining forms are often interlaced with layers of dots inspired by the incredible connection between the smallest and largest scales. I imagine the burst of energy that created the universe and the birth of stars - intricate networks of dust and gas coming together and collapsing on themselves to form the first lights in the darkness. When confronted by something so much greater than ourselves we feel a sense of awe, but the sublime can also induce feelings of wellbeing. Through my work I try to evoke that unique feeling of being humbled by our role within something much larger than ourselves. That we are a significant part of a purposeful unfolding of life in our universe."
