Tamara Torres is a Puerto Rican Afro-Latinx feminist storyteller and artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Tamara explores diverse artistic practices that include poetry, landscape abstract paintings known to Torres as "mindscapes," visual chronicle collaged photographs or 3D sculptures, short fictions, and playwriting. 

Her work intricately weaves together themes of light in beats of darkness, an autobiography of rediscovering her electric connections between her identity as an Afro-Caribeña and lineage, societal tantrums, feminism, and the essence of human connection and body. Each piece acts as a catalyst for conversation, igniting thought and fostering a deeper exploration of the complex intersections between identity and experience.

Believing in the power of art to challenge societal norms and foster connections. A recurring symbol in her work is the "shadow person," which represents people often forgotten in societal displacement, spiritual connections, and the complexities of identity. Or as a young child once described the shadow man to Torres, "They are there to keep the painting company." 

Tamara Torres has exhibited her work extensively across the tri-state area and internationally, sharing her unique perspective and fostering dialogue within contemporary discourse.

Tamara's artwork has been exhibited in cities and internationally, such as New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, London, Edinburgh, Vienna, and Rome. In 2022, she was selected as an art ambassador for the International Women's Day event, Art Connects Women, in Dubai.
