Hello Fabulous Art lover!
aggressively optimistic
My name is Amantha Tsaros, and I’m an aggressively optimistic artist. Sure, there is darkness in the world but I choose to paint the light.
I am wildly exuberant about making art that will return joy to your soul (and home!) at the end of turbulent times.
I start every painting with a goal of lifting the viewer’s spirits. It is thrilling when a studio visitor gleefully exclaims, “Your work makes me SO happy!”
About My Work
My bold abstract paintings tell stories of resilience and hope.
With color, paint and bold brush strokes, I want to trample darkness with optimism, joy and love. My paintings are a dare to overtake the forces that repress us and to rise up and dominate with positivity.
I start with a bold and energetic shape that will inform the overall composition of the finished work. Layering colors and shapes over and alongside each other creates an energetic field of forms that work together in wild harmony.
Each painting is a celebration of life - seeking out colors and shapes that express joy, happiness or overcoming hardship. And every color choice is a bold statement, telling the world that I am not neutral: I side with inclusivity, diversity and love.
Street Cred
Don't worry - I'm a professional. I've done this before.
I studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York City where I earned a BFA and MFA.
My work has been exhibited in Boston’s Bromfield Gallery; Fountain Street Gallery and many other juried national exhibitions.
My work is carried by Artful Home and seasonal items are available at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Store.
I have the most wonderful collectors - one of whom recently redecorated one of her rooms to coordinate with a commissioned painting!
