Tamara Safarova
Artist from Ukraine
Tamara Safarova (b. 1992) is a Ukrainian feminist queer artist of Azerbaijani origin who lives and works in Kyiv, Ukraine. Working across painting, graphics, comics, photography, digital media, and performance, Safarova explores themes of identity, memory, cultural heritage, gender, trauma and transformation. Her work seeks to expose the invisible: making internalised experiences and collective silences visible, felt, and shared. Mythology, personal history, and symbolic archetypes form the core of her artistic vocabulary. Safarova’s visual language often bridges the deeply personal with the mythic and the political, grounded in both the natural world and the layered cultural context of postcolonial experiences. Her first solo exhibition took place in 2022 at the Kunstmuseum in Stuttgart, Germany. Since then, her work has been shown internationally, including at Santa Maria delle Grazie (Venice, Italy), Kühlhaus (Berlin, Germany), the National Museum of Ukrainian Folk Decorative Art (Kyiv, Ukraine), Mystetskyi Arsenal (Kyiv, Ukraine), and Poltava Art Museum (Poltava, Ukraine). Her works are held in public collections in Italy, Belgium, and Ukraine.

Anxious thoughts
Painting by Tamara Safarova
50 x 90 cm • Canvas, Acrylic, Oil
Location:
Kyiv, Ukraine
Artwork from the series “Red-blue”, created during Artists at Risk (AR) art residency. This painting is an expression of anxious thoughts that arise within me due to the conditions of our modern life. The main elements of this abstract work are several blue-red circular shapes. These forms flow into one another, creating an impression of tension and the movement of masses. Through this artwork, I have released my anxious thoughts, attempting to convey their energy.
