"Tulip" -- this painting was inspired by the first sign of spring as the flowers start to show their first buds. Sometimes it feels as if spring will never come, or that it is painfully slow but, but nature's cycle has always remained constant. And for that, we are assured that we will see more of the beauty from the colourful world of flora.

Her works are held in commercial and private collections worldwide. She is currently preparing for an upcoming exhibition in Lisbon. — Tam Monteiro (b. 1982) is a Portuguese Abstract Expressionist painter based in Lisbon. Formally trained in interior design in London, Tam built an early career in abstract figurative work before moving into Abstract Expressionism — a move that felt instructive from the start. Painting professionally since 2018, she is a lifelong creative whose practice is shaped by extensive travels and a rich ethnic heritage, giving her work visual and cultural depth. The influence of Dorothea Tanning, and Paul Klee, is visible in the work’s complexity, yet Tam’s voice remains distinctly personal. Her visual language explores emotional awakening, hope, renewal and resilience. These are channelled through vibrant colours, subtle shades and a compositional balance that gives even the most gestural work an underlying sense of order and intention. She has been exhibiting with local and international galleries since 2018 and her paintings are in private collections in Austria, Denmark, England, Poland, and Portugal, to name a few. Tam is currently preparing for an upcoming exhibition in Lisbon. Instagram: (currently on social media break — will return in April)
