Press Release

Born in Beirut in 1982, Tamara Haddad graduated from Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts (ALBA) in 2005 with a master degree in Advertising. She started painting in 2004 as a self-taught painter, while working in advertising. In 2011 she quits advertising agency to devote herself to painting. Deeply influenced by architecture and photography, being the daughter of Georges Haddad, a pioneer of modern architecture in Lebanon, Tamara Haddad takes inspirations from her series of photos either taken during her many trips or during her many hikes in Lebanese mountains and abroad. These images allow her to give landscapes a new dimension in her paintings.

Today her work is focused on physical transformations that earth is enduring nowadays mainly caused by mankind actions. She focuses on the changes that affect the earth landscapes and its geology, showing scars, but at the same time, she insists on revealing the beauty and the variety of colors and textures that Earth owns.

Having a deep concern about environment, using natural materials such as sand, bark, straw, and branches along with oil painting, is part of her process.

About the Artist

Born in Beirut in 1982, Tamara Haddad graduated in Art Direction for Advertising from the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts. Raised in a home where art was ever-present, thanks to her father, one of the pioneers of modern architecture in Lebanon, she taught herself to paint during her studies and while working in advertising agencies. In 2011, she devoted herself entirely to painting. A photography enthusiast, Tamara Haddad draws inspiration from the photos she takes during her numerous travels in Asia, Europe, and especially in Lebanon, during her mountain hikes. Deeply concerned about the polluted environment we live in, her work primarily focuses on the physical transformations the Earth is undergoing today (deforestation, wildfires, climate change, etc.) while emphasizing its beauty, the richness of its landscapes, and its vibrant colors.
