Ania Tamira is an Atlanta, Georgia based artist. She specializes in one of a kind portrait paintings that are inspired by the beauty of the black women and black culture. She was a self-taught artist throughout high-school and later went to study Art at the University of Louisville, Kentucky where she received her BA in Fine Arts.
She can remember growing up and how colorism often morphed her way of thinking about her own beauty. After talking to other black women who had similar experiences throughout their life, Ania saw the desperate need for representation. She aims to promote healing through art and to help bridge the gap of representation that is painfully lacking in the beauty and art world. .
