Statement


In a world where peace is a luxury and an act of kindness an aberration, mankind's beautiful soul stands weak in the face of escalating and innumerable patterns of self-destruction. Yet, somehow, light finds a way through entwined, dense and enveloping darkness - rays of hope, carrying the promise of better days to come.


Biography


Born 1984, India.

Lives and works in London, UK.

Tamar has always been intrigued by that which lies across the dynamic spectrum of contrasting entities - seemingly disparate elements held together by an unbreakable bond of co-dependence.

It is this dichotomous relationship he explores through his deeply narrative work, both visually and thematically, drawing heavily from his thoughts and reflections on life and his personal faith journey.

In the infinite connectedness that bridges the black and white, there lies a journey. From no to yes. Bondage to freedom. Darkness to light. From despair in the seen to an eternal hope in the unseen.

Tamar's well-rounded worldview, along with a unique aptitude for conceptualisation and an innate ability to bring an idea to life, is how his art has found a place in the homes of many art collectors.
