In 1994 Tamara moved to Miami, Florida in the United States where she focused experimenting with new ideas and materials while exhibiting. During that time, she continued her education by assisting to Hernan Miranda atelier in Miami. Her ongoing interest in the juxtaposition of lines, shapes, bits and pieces had led her to abstract painting. Tamara plays with organized forms and in the process focuses in surface quality, color relationships and formal design. Her art is included in corporate and private collections nationally and internationally. She loves creating art, enjoys family, likes to socialize with unique transparent humorous people with purpose in life. Statement :Through painting, I seek to use various geometric formulas to explore key compositional elements, create visual engagements through line, color, form and texture in an aesthetically pleasing way. By designing and composing my paintings I also develop my own unique artistic voice and expand my abilities through constant experimentation with different materials. I’m interested in humanity’s complexity and beauty with its many physical characteristics and psychological layers, and my architectural background influences me to deconstruct figures by creating planes, juxtapositions, lines, layers, and flirt with color to transport the representational to geometric compositions emphasizing their identities.
