where the serenity of nature meets the dreamer’s brush
Welcome to The Blue Wanderlust. My name is Tamara Soares, and I am a self-taught artist with a deep passion for both painting and travel. Through my art, I aim to capture the beauty of nature, drawing inspiration from landscapes, seascapes, and the peaceful moments I encounter during my travels.
My Art Journey
Painting is my form of daydreaming—a way to escape into peaceful worlds where I can explore the essence of the natural scenes that captivate me. I primarily work in watercolor and acrylic, and I am expanding my repertoire into gouache. My style blends simplicity and realism, allowing me to create pieces that invite reflection and calm. Through my art, I aim to capture the quiet grace of nature, offering viewers a sense of stillness and contemplation.
The Blue Wanderlust reflects my connection to the color blue, which symbolizes depth, calm, and endless possibility—just like the skies and seas that frequently inspire my work. It also represents the inner journey that painting takes me on, allowing me to explore both real and imagined places of beauty.
Travel as Inspiration
My travels are an integral part of my artistic expression. Whether I am exploring the rustic, sun-drenched streets of Greece or gazing at the vast blue of the Mediterranean, I find inspiration not only in the visual beauty of these places but in the emotions they evoke. Each journey is a chance to daydream, to immerse myself in the fleeting moments of beauty that later find their way onto my canvas. Through my art, I seek to capture the essence of these serene experiences, offering viewers a window into the peaceful, dreamlike worlds that inspire me.
The Creative Process
For me, painting is an opportunity to step away from life’s complexities and immerse myself in quiet reflection. Each brushstroke allows me to express the tranquility I find in nature, transforming it into something tangible. Whether painting a seascape or a countryside, I seek to convey a sense of balance, simplicity, and openness that mirrors the places that inspire me. I hope my art offers others the same sense of calm that I experience during the creative process.
My Vision
I believe in the beauty of simplicity. My vision is to create art that captures the essence of a moment without overwhelming it, inviting viewers to pause and connect with the quiet beauty of nature. As I continue to grow as an artist, I look forward to exploring new mediums, techniques, and collaborations that stay true to my commitment to minimalism and timeless elegance.
