Tamara Kostochko
about
Tamara Kostochko is a visual artist exploring the soul’s journey and love through movement, facial expressions, gestures and glances. Her work is deeply rooted in emotion, symbolism, and the raw beauty of human experience.

From an early age, creativity has been the red thread running through her life — a quiet force that guided her toward her soul’s path.

Born in Latvia in 1996 into a creative family, Tamara grew up surrounded by design, drawing, and art. Her early education combined classical training in fine arts with regular visits to museums, shaping a deep appreciation for visual storytelling. Though she explored design and worked as a product designer both in tech and fashion, painting always remained her truest form of expression.

Now based in Barcelona, Tamara fully devotes herself to painting, working intuitively and often on large-scale canvases. Through her works, she translates inner states into visual portraits of energy, where body language, color, and form become tools of emotional narrative. Her pieces often feature hands as a symbol of action and connection — the bridge between our soul’s impulse and our outer reality.

Through her art, Tamara aims to awaken, inspire, and support others, reminding them of who they truly are, helping them reconnect with their own soul, honesty, and inner strength.
Artist statement
Tamara Kostochko strongly believes that each individual is a blend of physical and spiritual elements — body and soul. What connects these two realms are the hands, which lie at the heart of her artistic practice. To her, hands are symbols of action and creation. Through them, Tamara explores how we shape our reality and how we touch and transform the world — not passively, but with intention.

She views all of us as creators, responsible for the energy we project into the world. Art, in her view, is one of the most powerful channels through which the soul can manifest.

In her work, Tamara not only expresses herself but also seeks to touch the souls of others. Her paintings are an invitation to awaken, to remember who we truly are, and to bridge the beauty within and without. Through layered, abstract, and symbolic images, she offers love, grounding, and a reminder that our emotions matter, that our truth matters, and that our soul deserves to be seen.
