REFLECTION AND COMING TO TERMS

Art can also be of therapeutic benefit to the artist himself.

In these paintings Tamara Starl-Latour deals with sorrow, wounds and trauma where life might harm the soul.

The soul is a far field. The great issues may become trivial, the trivial ones overpowering: a strong desire to shop, a silent scream, disgust of chicken or fear of death, traumatic experiences in childhood or stepping into the greatuncle's well known self portrait – for self reflection.
