Art By Tar (Www.Artbytar.Nl)
Hi there,
My name is Tarja (Vandergoot) and I’m a self-taught artist from The Netherlands. I specialize in realism and mixed media art.
Let me start with a little assumption. You’re looking at my art - liking it (or not and you’ve already gone) - but you’re a little confused about what you’re actually looking at.. Is it print? Is it paint on plexiglass or… No worries! Let me explain how my art comes into existence.
I draw graphite portraits of women that embody power and mystery…I hereby focus on the eyes as I believe the eyes are one of the senses through which you, as consciousness, experience yourself and your creativity. Occasionally I use a photo and integrate it digitally if the picture’s quality is too low for realistic drawing. This is often the case with older iconic photos for example of Brigitte Bardot. After I’ve finished drawing it’s time to grab a canvas to go wild with paint, collage, cement, stencils,…Anything I feel the artwork needs! When the drawing and the abstract work are finished I take a high-res photo of both and digitally merge the two together. I then play with colors, shapes, highlights, and shades to make the artwork really come to life. Depending on the outcome I have the art printed behind high-quality plexiglass or on (brushed) aluminum. In the latter, I sometimes choose to add extra paint and collage elements and coat the artwork with epoxy resin to give the artwork a lot of depth and body.
Some of my sources of inspiration:
Masato Tsuchiya (drawings), Melissa La Bozzetta, Maaike Wycisk (colors and femininity), Amy Shekhter (epoxy art), Yossi Kotler & Paco Raphael (colors and shapes)
Please feel free to look around!
Tarja.
Ps. All my art can be ordered in various sizes if desired. Just contact me.

The EuropArtFair
Art from Europe
The second edition of the EuropArtFair is unique in its kind: visitors will be shown a cross-section of art by carefully selected contemporary artists from all over Europe and even beyond. More importantly, the meet-and-greet with the artists is part of the deal!
Contemporary Art
We do not aim to present a new ‘best art’ fair. We believe our audience is perfectly able to value the artworks themselves. We show contemporary art from contemporary Europe in a progressive manner: the EuropArtFair Amsterdam 2021.
Meet the artists
The participating artists will be provided with an opportunity to show their work directly to the public. Our task is limited: we believe in creating opportunities for the artist to receive feedback on their work through the organisation of this art fair.
