Osmosis:
I must remember the kind words during the long months of making art in isolation. Otherwise, the critical thinking takes over.
“Finally I found what I’ve been looking for all this time in Brussels. This painting is my gift to myself to remember a 20 year career here.” ~ Karin
“It was the most exciting outing I have had!! I loved hearing the stories behind the paintings. But most of all I was happy to finally see you after following your journey of your art through social media. My friend [name] is an art lover and was so thrilled that I invited her. Looking forward to receiving the link to the prints. [Name] and I were already discussing where I would put them in my house…”
Some of the visitor’s book got illustrated with lots of love for my paintings and even a suspicious looking “dolphin.”
Meet up groups left very positive reviews online
“Beautiful, Tamar you’re a real artist.”
“Thanks for the immense Naxos joy that you’ve provided for my birthday and beyond! Looking forward to more amazing art from you!!”
“Wow! I don’t know how you do it all…”
“It was quite an emotional experience.”
Some comments were sketches: portraits by little artists… of me!
Some of these comments were shared in the gallery, some online and some illustrated in the gallery’s visitor book by the youngest art appreciators yet.
“[T]he painting is You! whats been sold was just a small part of your beautiful heart that will simply regenerate and create more love. like a beautiful vine tree.” ~Vicky Anastasiou
“…it’s amazing, your very best art work! Keep going! Really enchanted from these journeys you took me…”
“The paintings have a thrilling effect. I felt goosebumps myself, and then goosebumps again, standing next to the art collector who was getting goosebumps herself. I could feel the visceral connection she had with the painting.” ~ Viktoryia
“…it was magical to feel that part of me and life”
“…[A]n enchanting journey… full of emotions and positive vibrations…”
“Wonderful,” ~Stella Gadona
“Thanks to you for finding that inspiration…”
“I love how much joy it brings and the colour palette you use is so filled with sun and warmth,” ~ Cherine
“Tamar Levi’s exhibition is absolutely awesome and unique!! I enjoyed it!!!” ~Nadia
So many lovely page mentions and shares too, e.g. comedian extraordinaire Lila Stambouloglou:
Some comments were from faraway. They continue to remind me that friendship love and support knows no boundaries.
Gallery visitors whispered things that will keep me motivated to paint more.
“This one makes me feel very deeply,” ~Agita
There’s even a surprise in the visitor’s book. A page illustrated with great talent by another artist, (sadly left unsigned). A portrait of me which appears to appreciate more than my art.
Here are some of the lovely things people said about the art yesterday that warmed my heart, or made me smile and will keep me motivated to keep making art for you:
“YES! YES! YES! That is EXACTLY how that place FEELS!”
“I can feel the sun on the back of my neck when I look at this one.”
“Could I buy a print of this one that is already sold? Even though it’s not the original painting, the feeling I get is always authentic.”
“There’s something mystical in your use of light.”
“I feel like I could take many different walks in many different directions through these landscapes.”
“This view is where my partner proposed just a few weeks ago!”
“I like that you used unexpected colours.”
“Wonderful paintings – so vibrant, alive and full of feeling!”
“I didn’t expect to see Greece and Belgium with these colours.”
“Your prices are really accessible, thank you. I couldn’t afford original art otherwise.”
“There’s something in the atmosphere of light between the trees that reminds me of the person I’ve started dating and falling in love with right now.”
“Very happy to be here.”
“Amazing work.”
“I’ve been on a pedalo in that lake! You should’ve painted me in a boat right there!”
“Thank you for these so personal colorful landscapes.”
“Thank you for this trip into the happiness of art!”
“These paintings are both feminine and masculine.”
“Painting on the frames is really unique and exciting.”
“I love all the tree ones. I’m a trees guy.”
“You saw lots of colours in this place, you see a lot of the colours because you’re an artist, but I just see an excellent place for me to ride my motorcycle and have one of my greatest rides.”
“I would arrange them in my home in this way…”
“I need to bring back my wife before I buy because she is the boss.”
“I need to bring back my husband before I buy to check he enjoys it too.”
“I need to bring back my child tomorrow so you can inspire them the way you inspired me.”
The exhibition is on until November 2020.
