Kedimari

Painter, Multidisciplinary Artist

Kedimari (Melisa Maria Tatar) is a contemporary Romanian artist deeply influenced by neoexpressionism and the communal human narrative. Beginning her artistic endeavors at Ploesti Scoala Popular De Artã, she ventured into violin and painting, and later honed her oil painting and technical drawing skills at Istanbul Art Studio. After attaining her BFA in Graphic Design, Kedimari cultivated a unique artistic style that marries contemporary techniques with traditional expressionism. Her recent exhibition at Notagallery in Berlin in 2023 added another layer to her evolving artistic journey. Bridging the epochs of past and present, individual and community, her work is a vibrant mosaic of colors and forms.

Dramatic and expressionistic artistry of Kedimari reflects the overlapping emotions that connect individuals to a community.

Embodying the essence of a cabaret stage, the grandeur of a grand ball, or the intimacy of a local theatre, Kedimari’s works coalesce to portray the compelling narrative of community and the shared human experience.

Through her careful observation, Kedimari paints a narrative of singular personalities united by common threads, revealing the shared emotions that underpin our diverse lives. Each piece is a snapshot of a moment, a singular act in the drama of existence where individuals, despite their distinct personas, and resonate in shared sentiments.

Utilizing a rich and flowing color palette, Kedimari creates harmonious scenes that speak volumes about our collective past, rendered anew in contemporary colors and shapes.
