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.
