Tamara Khodr is a Lebanese artist from Mount Lebanon. She studied Business Administration at the American University of Beirut, then earned a Master’s in Fashion Collection Management at Accademia del Lusso in Milan.
The inevitability of change, from the challenges it presents to the rollercoaster of emotions that either prompt or accompany these shifts, is a focal point of her work. As a self-taught artist, Khodr explores these ideas on several levels, ranging from the far-reaching evolution of humanity to her girlhood memories of life in Lebanon.
She works in vibrant colours, in a palette she describes as “bold enough to raise courageous questions about the self”. Khodr presents us with compositions that encompass myriad aspects of Lebanese life and inner introspection. Her subjects are captured in everyday activities. However, she gives her subjects’ faces a deconstructed aspect, suggesting there are many more layers to their emotions and existence.
Her main source of inspiration stems from quantum mechanics, in which all the figures represent a reflection of herself. The artist’s work is also deeply inspired by Pablo Picasso’s Cubism.
