BIOGRAPHY
Thamara Barth was born in 1974 into an artist family in Heilbronn, Baden-Wuerttemberg. Her father was a successful sculptor, creating ceramic sculptures and oversized art reliefs in styles ranging from Realism to Cubism, Art Deco and Art Nouveau.
Her mother was a fashion designer known for avantgarde clothing designs and modern painting. Thamara Barth learned the basics of artistic expression directly from her parents. As a teenager, she sold her first sculptures and exhibited in Wuppertal, Verona, Heilbronn, Munich, Hanover and Wolfratshausen. While initially working primarily in clay, wood and cardboard, she discovered the expressive power and magic of bronze over the last ten years
.
Thamara has always been longing for taking off to the skies, and for freedom, lightness and boundlessness. Unencumbered by any burdens humans can ascend to the highest experience of knowledge and perfection. Thamara`s personal philosophy has always been that human beings should enjoy utmost liberty.

STATEMENT
Art lives through aesthetics and through the interaction between the
viewers´ imagination and the artwork. Each viewer sees something different in an art object. My sculptures may open a window into a different world and distract the viewer from everyday life. One of my first series of sculptures carried the title “People in Motion”. As I continued working on this theme, I began calling it “Design of Lightness”. In these sculptures, I deliberately gave the figures disproportionately long arms and legs. These elongated limbs, representing the instruments of movement, suggest a lightness that most human beings are longing for. When observing the figures, the viewer gets an impression of how it would be to escape from the routine of life into the endless world of fantasy. The bronze figures are mounted on natural stones which stand for roundedness, stability and earthiness. I invite you all to take off into the skies with my sculptures.
