Tamara Polacek

Freelance artist Born and living in Vienna, 6.5.1964 I would describe myself as a "late-comer". I started painting in 2018, in the "Kunst VHS" in the Lazarettgasse. The more I have dealt with the subject of acrylic painting, the more I caught fire. My preferred style of painting is acrylic abstract. I love colors, playing with them, whether brushing, spackling, flowing, dripping, pouring or wiping. Sometimes I combine with acrylic spray or let sometimes a squeegee or pouring technique flow into my paintings. Before I start painting, I think about the colors and the background, otherwise I paint in principle without a concrete plan and try to get the best out of spontaneously arising. With my paintings I want to stimulate the imagination of the viewer, that everyone finds his dreams, his point of view in it. I wish that people fall in love with pictures and that they make them a part of their lives. A picture can be reinvented every day, just by looking at it. Every picture wants to tell a story, wants attention. Pictures belong to be appreciated, pictures belong to be shown, pictures belong on the wall. Living is much nicer with art by its side.
