ABOUT ME
TAMARA ANDJUS
Tamara Andjus (b. 1982) is a professional artist based in Zurich, Switzerland. With a background as diverse as her art, she holds both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Law, yet her true passion has always been painting. Guided by a lifelong love for color, movement, and expression, she eventually dedicated herself fully to the arts.
Her works, best known for their abstract figurative style, are characterized by dynamic brushstrokes, vibrant color palettes, and a multi-layered approach to painting. Working primarily with acrylics and oils on canvas, she captures animals, landscapes, and people with emotional intensity, evoking both atmosphere and imagination. Each piece invites the viewer into a world of movement, mood, and open interpretation.
Andjus has exhibited extensively across the globe, including in New York, Paris, London, Barcelona, Rome, Dubai, Zurich, and many other major cities. Her art has been published numerous times, and her long list of awards and recognitions has firmly established her place in the contemporary art world. She is represented by several galleries, most notably Fame Gallery in Zurich and Gallery Steiner in Vienna.
Beyond her studio practice, she plays a significant role in promoting the work of other artists. She has curated and organized exhibitions internationally, offering opportunities for artists who wish to showcase their work in Switzerland. Dedicated to fostering creativity at all levels, she has also worked with children in schools, introducing them to artistic techniques and encouraging their first steps into the art world. Having won her very first art award at just four years old, Andjus understands the importance of nurturing young creativity from the earliest age.
Her generosity extends into humanitarian work as well: she has participated in numerous charitable initiatives, donating artworks to raise funds, supporting organizations, and contributing to her local church. These efforts reflect her belief in the power of art to inspire, connect, and help those in need.
In addition to her exhibitions and projects, Tamara Andjus also accepts commissions, creating personalized works that bring collectors’ visions to life.
If a client has a special wish in a curtain dimension or a favorite color, she can accommodate their preferences. If you're looking for guidance regarding which paintings suit a certain style to have on your walls, then you are in the right hands. Be imaginative, feel free and make your home your favorite place to be!

To stand in front of a work of hers is akin to entering a world filled with wonder, emotion and admiration.

Looking at the works of Tamara Andjus today we can immediately recognise that she possesses a wealth and depth of innate talent which no doubt led to her receiving critical acclaim and a prestigious art award at an unusually young age. Not only has she gone on to fulfill that early promise recognised in her she has indeed surpassed it and in so doing developed her own unique and masterful style that stands out and is much admired.
Her willingness to experiment is clearly apparent and shows itself through her breadth of subject matter ranging from animals and humans to landscapes and her depth of techniques and use of dfferent materials all of which she masterfully infuses with her distinctly individual style. Andjus works from her innermost emotions and paints directly onto the canvas without the aid of any preparatory sketches. As a result, the final work is a dramatic conclusion to a journey of intense emotion transmitted onto the canvas via the seemingly effortless motion of her beautiful brushwork coupled with her vibrant and deliberate color palette choices. Her works are resplendent with careful and deliberate intention with regards the use of colour as well as the elimination of details that are deemed unnecessary to conveying the overall underlying emotions.
Many of Anjus’s works draw on universal time honored themes tackled over time by many artists eg. ballet dancers (Edgar Degas / 1934-1917), noble steeds (George Stubbs / 1724-1806), Geishas and noble ladies etc but she draws from these traditions and provides them with a contemporary, refreshing twist thus drawing our gaze from the initially seemingly recognisable to a remarkably new perspective that at once challenges and excites us.
