An pluridisciplinary
courious-freak artist
Inspired by contradictions
and contrasts
Tattooing walls and skin.
I’m Tami Hopf, born in Brazil in 1987, and I’ve been living in Vevey for the past 12 years. After completing my university studies in communication with a focus on artistic direction, I founded Hopf Studio, which has been active in Brazil, Switzerland and across Europe since 2011.
As a curious, self-taught, and multidisciplinary artist, I’m constantly engaged with and attentive to societal evolution. My artistic universe is dreamlike and deeply personal, inspired by my observations of nature, human emotions, and the contradictions in our behaviors. Through my work, I explore the complex interactions between people and their environment.
I use a simple yet bold palette, mostly black, white, and gold, sometimes enhanced with dark tones. By applying countless dots to the canvas using a pointillist technique, I bring texture and depth to my pieces. These contrasts reflect my search for clarity in my message and my attention to both substance and form. With precise lines and a confident technique, I create a sense of depth by balancing light and shadow.
My work has been recognized by various media and online platforms and has led to collaborations with prestigious clients such as the cities of Lausanne, Vevey, and Geneva, the Paratissima Art Event in Lisbon, the Brazilian Embassy in London, Bongenie Grieder, the Musée Romain de Vidy, RTS, and IKEA, among others.
