Vibrant Artist Portrait Nástěnné dekorace

Tamara Jare (b. 1962, Ljubljana, Slovenia) is a contemporary figurative painter based in Ljubljana, where Central European heritage shapes her global dialogue. Her multifaceted path—guided by her mother, a professional artist; medical studies at the University of Ljubljana; family life as a stay-at-home mother; and international work on educating the elderly—led to full-time painting in 2015. Jare works in oil on canvas, deploying bold yellows, reds, and blues, are rooted in art historical and literary sources. Her self-portrait series, a Fauvist-infused core, reinterprets classical archetypes through lenses of solitude and self-invention, positioning the woman creator's isolation as generative space for creation. Exhibitions span the US, Italy, and Slovenia, with features in Saatchi Art’s “Best of” (2021–2024) and on Guggenheim, Christie’s, and Sotheby’s platforms. For Jare, painting seizes light and color's unrepeatable miracles, celebrating human wonder via figurative precision.
