Tiemar’s work redefines printmaking, challenging its conventional boundaries while infusing it with new layers of meaning that resonate deeply with both the personal and collective experience.
Dagim Abebe on the work of the Ethiopian artist Tiemar Tegene
Bisrat creates a dynamic tension, the quiet strength of her figures against the fierce energy of the background. It’s as if the figures are carrying forward despite everything, embodying a sense of endurance and transcendence. This juxtaposition, where the figures appear in harmony amidst chaos, captures the essence of survival and grace, showing us a pathway through the fire and inviting us to find our own strength in the face of life’s challenges.
