come sit with me / 2025
“…let my gardens speak for me when I am gone
let them speak in colored whispers
of all the beauty I have seen and felt and lived
let them speak of how much death had defined me
how many hard seasons it took
to make me a living breathing thing…”
Emory Hall
Série “Come sit with me“ je tichou oslavou každodennosti. Táto kolekce je inspirovaná mým vlastním prožitkem raného rodičovství. Zobrazuje křehkost a krásu těch nejběžnějších okamžiků, které se zdají být nenápadné, a přesto v sobě nesou hluboké emoce.
Je to pohled do světa, kde se mísí únava, dojetí a bezpodmínečná láska. Období, kdy čas plyne jinak – pomalu, ale zároveň příliš rychle. Série zachycuje intimní chvíle, které často mizí dřív, než si je stihneme plně uvědomit, a právě proto si zaslouží být uchovány.
Série vyjadřuje pocit intimity prostřednictvím scén s anonymními postavami, ve kterých se můžeme poznat nebo do kterých se můžeme zasnít. Název každého obrazu je název písně, která odráží jeho náladu. S jemnou září a mlhavými detaily zachycují křehkou krásu malých okamžiků, které dělají náš každodenní život o něco sladší.
This collection is a quiet tribute to the everyday, inspired the artist’s own experience of early parenthood. It captures the fragility and beauty of seemingly ordinary moments, filled with deep emotion.
It speaks of tired eyes, full hearts, and the gentle rhythm of days shaped by a newborn's presence. A time when hours feel slow, yet the weeks rush by. The painting holds space for the fleeting intimacy of early family life – those quiet moments that pass before we realize how precious they were.
These paintings are perfect for anyone who finds meaning in simplicity, tenderness, and the silent poetry of real life.
It expresses the feeling of intimacy through the scenes with anonymous figures, in which we can recognize ourselves or which we can dream ourselves into. Each painting’s name is a song title that reflects its mood. With a soft glow and hazy details they capture the fragile beauty of little moments that make our everyday life a bit sweeter.

when days are long / 2025
“…let the soft wet earth be a reminder
of hardness that didn't win
of sadness that didn't calcify
of surrender that triumphed over resistance
and let the glorious fragrant blooms
speak of my life and its greatest lesson,
that the beauty we make never dies…”

about
I have been a fine artist since young age. Growing up surrounded by poster-prints of famous paintings gave me an understanding that art can have a strong affect on our sense of aesthetics and visual harmony. The magical sensation! I remember myself spending so much time just staring at those posters, glued with the duck-tape on the inside of the glass doors of the bookcase… Flora by Rembrandt or Under the Wave off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai… Later I admired Ukrainian artists Vladislav Erko and Evgenia Gapchinska.
Zhytomyr, a city in the north of Ukraine. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon when my father brought me to the school where my first art class took place. I was 5 years old and probably because at home I was drawing most of the time my parents decided to support it and give it a chance. I remember the excitement! Intriguing scent of paint in the cozy sun-soaked quiet classroom and gorgeous old lady with the kind smile on her face... I felt in the right place, like coming home. I started to attend those art classes and spend almost a decade learning and honing my skills with the help of great teachers and established painters. Some of them happened to be my neighbours, so it gave me a unique opportunity to watch them at work and getting to know and understand them.
My mother is also a painter/illustrator, and seeing her artfully working with aquarelles, using a beautiful collection of brushes, creating paintings and drawings that bring others joy - had a big impact on me. I used to visit local galleries and tried to understand why some paintings spark excitement; why they seem so profoundly soulful, moving and inspiring, while others are just skilfully and well made pictures, just a barren reflection of reality with no further meaning or feeling attached.
After graduating the art-school I started to work on detailed monochrome graphics combining them with watercolours. Some evenings I listened to the Jazz Classics radio and draw… That’s when I realised that I actually can translate music and words into colours.
I had exhibitions in Prague cafés, illustrated collection of poems My Betlem written by Ondřej Hník and for the publishing house Bor also illustrated his book called Last Night with M. (2014). I am the author of some CD covers (Awali).
I also share my skills and knowledge with beginner artists during annual and semestral painting/drawing courses and in workshops for companies, groups and individuals in my atelier+. For more information email me on: art@sofiatamara.com

Sofia-Tamara, kosmopolitní multidisciplinární umělkyně, která neustále hledá ten nejpřesnější a nejpravdivější způsob komunikace se světem prostřednictvím rozmanité umělecké tvorby: skrze malbu, hudbu, poezie a fotografii.
V průběhu 8 let studovala akademickou malbu a kresbu, ale díky tomu, že její sousedy a přátelí byli také nezávislí malíři, měla možnost pozorovat tradiční i moderní umění takřka v živém přenosu a tak rozšiřovat své horizonty.
Od roku 2013 vyučovala malbu a kresbu pro dětí a dospělé v pražském ateliéru a v roce 2020 společně s manželem založili vlastní ateliér v Brandýse nad Labem (atelierpozitiv.cz), kde pořádá výtvarné kurzy a workshopy.
Vystavovala v pražských i brandýských kavárnách a také na různých pop-up výstavách; ilustrovala básnickou sbírku Můj Betlém Ondřeje Hníka a pro nakladatelství Bor - knihu Poslední noc s M. (2014).
