a little about me
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, diving into new books about everything and dreaming up new projects. My hope is that my paintings resonate with anyone seeking a deeper connection with Mother Earth, with themselves, and with the unseen.
My story is a patchwork of cultures, 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. Creating art is how I make sense of the world around me.
I aim to capture moments of transformation, connection, and 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 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 creativity, find joy in the present and embrace your 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 that which connect us all.
