Gabriella Tamas

Contemporary artist based in France, working across different media, drawing inspiration from nature, mindfulness, and the search for essentials. My practice embraces a wide range of techniques and supports — including kraft paper, wood panels, and canvas — often incorporating eco-friendly, recycled, and traditional materials.

Through layering, texture, and gesture, my work seeks to reveal what is usually unseen, exploring the subtle boundary between the visible and the invisible. Exhibited since 2017, my work has been recognized in a renowned art fair. Each artwork is a unique, hand-crafted piece.



Artist statement

My work is rooted in an attentive relationship to the world — to nature, materials, and inner experience. I draw from both ancient and contemporary techniques, often using eco-conscious, recycled, or natural materials, to create works that evolve through layering, transformation, and time.

Rather than following a single medium, my practice unfolds across paper, wood, and canvas, allowing each support to guide the process. The act of making becomes a form of presence: assembling, covering, stitching, embedding, or erasing, in a quiet dialogue between control and hasard, the inside and the outside.

Inspired by mindf...

I developed my practice through several years of watercolor study under Marie-Line Montécot, followed by training at the Reg’Art studio with Emmanuelle Tenailleau for other media.

I resumed painting after a burnout in 2009. Deeply moved to tears by a watercolor by Ewa Karpinska, I decided to dedicate myself to learning watercolor, specifically the wet-on-wet technique.

I began with Dominique Coppe in Belgium, followed various workshops, and then studied for several years under Marie-Line Montécot. Later, I joined the Reg’Art studios with Emmanuelle Tenailleau, where I expanded my practice to other techniques over the years.

My explorations of meaning and mindfulness led me to Rye Takeda, who taught me the fundamentals of Japanese calligraphy and its accompanying philosophy. During this period, I also studied mindfulness, photography and modeling.

Building on these experiences, I now navigate a variety of techniques according to the seasons and my inspiration, always staying close to nature. This is reflected in my choice of eco-friendly and recycled materials. My work blends Eastern and Western perspectives, enriched with a touch of Magyar virtuosity.
