About Tamara Jare

Tamara Jare was born and raised in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where she lives with her family and where she works. ​ She started painting at an early age and her mother, a painter, taught her all the principal painting techniques, from pencil sketching to classical layered oil painting. She absolved medical studies in Ljubljana and at the time worked as an illustrator for children magazines. With growing family she decided to stay at home with her two kids. ​ She was involved in NGO work for almost a decade, travelling extensively around Europe. ​ Lately she has returned to full time painting. For her contemporary painting she uses watercolours and oil to paint intimate still lifes of flowers and carefully chosen objects, landscapes. The subtle media of watercolour allows her to stay transparent and employ the finest detail, while retaining the peinture classique quality. Painting objects from everyday life she seeks deeper connotations, shrinking the cosmos of our feelings to a reminiscence of a memory from our past – or perhaps future. She is intrigued by cultural connotation of at prima vista ascetic settings, sticking to authentic artistic language of her own, driven by the idea of giving the observer an opportunity to rethink his own world, and to offer him colour and beauty, which she considers to be the most powerful language of expression. As there are colours, language of forms, figures and deeper meaning in the whole universe, so she believes there can be whole universe of colour, form, deeper meanings and beauty just in a single object, a flower, a figurine, a vase. Meanwhile she keeps asking: What is the language of the past and what the language of the future? Can they coexist? Is a rose from a Roman garden the same that Marcus Aurelius observed, is the vintage ceramic vase from sixties still worth our exploration today, what are the moments colouring our feelings of today that could evoke joy, a thought 100 years later? There has to be the artisanal knowledge, respect of art form perhaps, but what more? She finds answers in paradox and duality, a vivid flower against natura morta of a ceramic vase, Andy Warhol against Marylyn, black against colour, line against surface, croqui against layers and layers of colour, artisanal patience against artistic impulse, and symbols of western culture against artistic language invented de novo. Her aim remains to paint beauty, to dig it out from our surrounding and to evoke memories that she believes would be the best in our time full of dispute, terror and misunderstanding. She hopes her painting to be a tiny window into that future of great memories and hope, beauty and mutual respect. ​​Tamara Jare is represented by Marco Antonio Patrizio, gallerist and art dealer, Padova, Italy. https://www.marcoantoniopatrizio.com/ Tamara Jare is represented by London Art Merchants, London, UK: http://londonartmerchants.com/the-art/ All Images are Subject to International Copyright Laws ©TamaraJare ​
