Dutch artist Eleonora Tammes holds a Master's degree in Fine Arts from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where she studied painting, drawing, graphics and art history. Following her formal training, she undertook extensive travels to countries as widespread as Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia, S.E. Asia, Japan, China, South and Central America. Her exposure to varied and unfamiliar cultures is reflected in both the technique and the content of her work.
Eleonora Tammes has exhibited her artwork in galleries throughout the Netherlands, Switzerland, England and the U.S.A.
The works on paper by eleonora tammes are non-figurative. A rythmic build-up, the suggestion of change, organic processes, form repetitions and structures dominate the compositions. Central is the combination of shapes and line patterns, color shades and movement. Close study of her work reveals a fascination with form and proportion. As if, for her, painting is a matter and manner of research into the ways elements of form relate and interact with each other. Her intention is to discover and employ the interplays of light, shape, color and structure. Not as a goal in itself, but to achieve and express deeper under-standing of what matters in our own existence.
