Who is Tamara Alves

Tamara Alves is a Portuguese visual artist and muralist based in Lisbon, working across illustration, painting, and large-scale urban interventions. Her practice is deeply rooted in street art and public space, often translating intimate emotional states into expansive visual narratives.

Her work is characterised by expressive, dreamlike figures that merge human anatomy with organic and surreal elements. Through these compositions, she explores themes such as vulnerability, transformation, desire, and instinct, often blurring the boundaries between body, nature, and subconscious imagery.

With a strong poetic and visceral language, Tamara Alves builds visual worlds that reflect the raw emotional and instinctive dimensions of contemporary life.
