Tamara Jovandic Everson was born in Sarajevo, former Yugoslavia in 1968, where she graduated from the Academy of Arts in 1991. Her graduation thesis was Expressionism in Painting from Figurative to Abstract and her predominant style today is still expressionism. Tamara moved to the UK in 1992 and since then she is a member of Federation of British Artists, with her work in many private collections in Europe, the UK and the USA.
Tamara work is figurative and based on female sexuality and nudity, paintings devoted to women and their inner lives, instincts. The use of traditional materials such as acrylic and mixed media charcoal, pastel, oil enable her to fully express the power of her visual language. Tamara’s work is often explosive and provoking expressing sex, death, fears, loneliness, the themes of her paintings break taboos and invite the viewer to question the boundaries.
With her superb handling of texture and bold composition, on a nearly black ground she deals with the nudes range from sublimely graceful to boldly explicit giving an idea of freedom of movement and expression enjoyed by the human body of the individual.
