Born in Beirut, Tamara Haddad is graduated from Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts (ALBA) in 2005 with a master degree in Advertising, Tamara started painting in 2004 as a self-taught painter, while working in advertising. In 2011 she quits advertising agency to devote herself to painting. Deeply influenced by architecture and photography, and being the daughter of Georges Haddad, a pioneer of modern architecture in Lebanon, Tamara Haddad takes inspirations from her series of photos either taken during her trips to Tibet and Nepal, or from wandering in the Beirut airport tarmac, the Beirut port large spaces ( Before the explosion of course ), and finally during her many hikes in Lebanese mountains and abroad. All these images allow her to give landscapes a new dimension in her paintings.
Today her work is focused on physical transformations that earth is enduring nowadays mainly caused by mankind actions. She focuses on the changes that affect the earth landscapes and its geology, showing scars, but at the same time, she insists on revealing the beauty and the variety of colors and textures that Earth owns.
Having a deep concern about environment, using natural materials such as sand, bark, straw, pebble and branches along with oil painting, is part of her process.
