FAIA: Hello Tamara, please introduce yourself in detail.
de Lempicka: I was born in Poland in 1898, and I am a self-taught artist. I moved to Paris in 1919, and my art career began there. I later moved to the United States and settled in Houston, Texas in 1963. I have one daughter, Kizette, who also lives in Houston.
FAIA: Why did you choose to become an artist?
de Lempicka: I have always loved art, and I have always been drawn to the creative process. When I was a young girl, I rejected a portrait my mother had commissioned, and instead drew a likeness of my younger sister. That was when I first realized that I had a talent for art.
FAIA: What is your favorite medium to work in?
de Lempicka: I love to work in oil paint. I find it to be a very versatile medium, and it allows me to create the exact effect that I am looking for in my paintings.
FAIA: What influences your work?
de Lempicka: I am influenced by many things, but some of my main influences are the art of the Italian Renaissance, French Impressionism, and Cubism. I also love the work of my contemporary artists, such as Pablo Picasso and Juan Gris.
FAIA: What are some of your favorite subjects to paint?
de Lempicka: I love to paint portraits and scenes from everyday life. I also enjoy painting landscapes and still lifes.
FAIA: How do your paintings relate to the viewer?
de Lempicka: I hope that viewers of my paintings can see the beauty in the everyday, and that they can appreciate the simple things in life.
FAIA: Tell us the story of your first show in Houston.
de Lempicka: My first show in Houston was in 1952, at the Rice Hotel. I was very excited to be showing my work in Houston, as it was the first time my work had been shown in the city. The show was a great success, and I was very pleased with the response from the viewers.
FAIA: Thanks for your time Tamara. Any final thoughts?
de Lempicka: Thank you for your interest in my work. I hope that my paintings can bring enjoyment to all who view them.
