Tamara Safarova

Tamara Safarova is a Ukrainian artist of Azerbaijani origin based in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Safarova works with themes of identity, memory, cultural heritage, trauma and transformation across graphics, comics, painting, digital media, and performance.

Her practice moves beyond anthropocentric perspectives toward a more-than-human worldview, approaching the body as a site of resonance between landscape, memory, and transformation. Safarova’s visual language bridges the deeply personal with the mythic and political, grounded in both the natural world and the layered realities of post-Soviet and postcolonial experience.
