Violetta Tar

My pen name is Vio. I use this name, when I sign my paintings and my friends call me Vio too. I was born in 1985 in Kaposvar (Hungary). I was very young, when I knew I will be an artist. My preferred subject is exploring and represent the hidden secrets of the human soul. Like many artists , I am also interested in the subject of how people relate to each other or to themselves.   There is a tool that serves to express the repressed thoughts , desires , feelings without violating human society , or people. This tool is the Art. The mask plays a very important role in human life, as it is present in an ideological sense, every person wearing a mask, we can not see, but mind's eye can perceive. "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." - Oscar Wilde
Another favorite theme of me is reflect the suffering of the human body with distortions and grotesque poses. For me the painting is a tool for self-expression, and I think the most artists primarily create for themself. My art is inspired by the great surrealist, just to mention a few examples: Dalí, Frida Kahlo, Michael Hussar etc.
