Tiemar Tegene

Ethiopian 1993- 

Tiemar Tegene’s practice expands traditional printmaking into experimental monoprints, often using household items and coloured pencil to create textured, layered works that blur fixed description. Her compositions transform emotional experiences and relationships into images that echo personal and shared stories, weaving together real details with imagination to capture consuming emotional moments.

Tegene received a BFA in Printmaking from the Allé School of Fine Arts & Design in Addis Ababa. She has held various solo and group exhibtions both locally and internationally. Tegene’s work is in various collections, including the Foundation Gandur pour l’Art in Geneva and the IZIKO National Gallery South Africa.
