Tamina Amadyar

Tamina Amadyar is dealing with memories to places and situations and converts them into reduced but colorful paintings which combine geometric and biomorphic elements and appear as free contemporary translations of the vocabulary of classical modern abstraction. Recently, figurative works have been added, mainly in the form of watercolours, which, however, also draw their subjects from the artist's immediate living environment and, much like her abstractions, rely on the power of colour and the spontaneity of the painting process; these include portraits of friends and family, views of rooms and architecture, but also representations of domestic objects and food.
