a little about me

Although I’m not the most outspoken person, I feel deeply, and creating art has always been my way of communicating when words fall short. My artistic process is slow and meditative, a way for me to connect with both myself and the world in a more profound way.

Living in Australia, I find constant inspiration in the natural landscape around me, as well as my personal studies in metaphysical and spiritual practices. I have a sustained interest in spirituality, quantum healing, and ancient wisdom.  These subjects influence both my personal life and my creative work.

When I’m not painting, I’m spending time with my family and our dog, exploring nature, or diving into new books about everything from spirituality to art history and dreaming up new projects. My hope is that my paintings resonate with those who are also seeking a deeper connection with Mother Earth, with themselves, and with the unseen.

My story is a patchwork of cultural collisions unconfined by borders.

Based in Sydney, Australia.
Born in Brazil, city of Salvador.
Raised in USA, Florida.

a little about my art

I’m Tami Oliveira, and I’m an artist living and creating in Australia. My work is inspired by the natural world and the unseen forces that shape our lives. Through my paintings, I explore the delicate balance between nature, spirituality, and human emotion. Each piece is an expression of my journey—a blend of deep connection with the earth and a quiet fascination with the mystical and metaphysical.

I aim to capture moments of transformation, connection, and emotion in each piece. Through careful attention to colors, textures, and form, I bring a balance between nature’s elements and the more mysterious aspects of life.

Creating art is how I make sense of the world around me, and how I share those reflections with others. My work often draws on themes of transformation, the cycles of nature, and the subtle energies that connect us all. I believe that art has the power to heal, to inspire, and to bring us closer to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world.

my purpose and aspirations

At the heart of my work is a desire to inspire you to embrace your own inner creativity and find joy in the present, inviting you to explore your own spiritual connections and inner landscapes. I believe in the healing power of art and its ability to inspire reflection and transformation. My hope is that my paintings offer a space for contemplation and emotional connection—a place where you can feel the energy and the unseen forces that connect us all.

Looking forward, I aspire to weave together my art, my spiritual practice, and community initiatives that foster a more empowered, heart-centered world. I envision creating spaces and works that support education, self-awareness, and collective healing.
