A collection of eight paintings inspired by our basic need to
play. It's a vital part of life and necessary not only for learning but also for creating memories that we can treasure. We often say we sing, we dance, we cry. I think we should also say just as often - we play.
I wanted to let the unbridled child in me go and spread colourful chaos on every canvas. This collection celebrates that playful aspect of life. I hope we always recognise the moment when we need to slow down and pick up a ball, a puzzle, a stick - whatever your idea of play is - and experience life upside down in all its wonky glory.

The Disconnect Series is an expression of gratitude to art and creativity. For although broken and alone, art gave me a safe harbour for healing and transformation.
Recent tragedies drowned me in contradictions — never in my life have I felt so brave yet so afraid, immersed yet withdrawn, abundant yet so empty, everything and nothing all at once.
This collection is the ultimate reminder that life's ironies deserve to be celebrated, heartbroken or otherwise. And more so, we need our moments of quiet solitude to contemplate, re-focus, and gather ourselves so that we may become whole again.

Biography 4j3w1c
Lisbon-based painter and illustrator Tam Ess creates surreal contemporary pieces inspired by emotional connections, memories and the subconscious. She captures a distinct feeling and a sense of familiarity through abstract elements and balanced compositions.
Her visual language often symbolises the duality of emotions and explores themes of change, hope and resilience of the human spirit. Having always drawn as a child, she honours this creative journey by creating a visual diary chronicling the experiences that connect the heart and mind.
Tam studied design in London and her background heavily shapes and guides her art practice. Her favourite medium is oil on large-scale canvas often incorporating vibrant colours with subtle shades highlighting the complex beauty of human experience. 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.
