Thaís Ibañez


The Brazilian culture in painting

The folk art has the most diverse expressions. They include pottery, singing and dancing, among many others. One of the most fascinating plastic journeys is to dive into this three-dimensional world and have the purpose to take it to the canvas, where the planes and colors reign together.
Born in Diadema, SP, in 1982, the plastic artist Thaís Ibañez goes through this journey in a very personal way. Her trademark is the use of round-based women, just like in pottery. Such resource, associated with the intense use of warm colors, works as an excellent solution to transmit joy and spontaneity.

The artist quite often draws some percussion musical instrument in her paintings, which is a way to value the national rhythms and somehow create a visual identity in her works. Overall, the folk culture always prevails in her paintings as a source of inspiration and motivation of images that refer to handicraft.

Thaís Ibañez takes the Brazilian culture and gives it a pictorial dimension. This is done with the purpose to exalt its peculiarities, like the live shades, handmade objects and music, dances and instruments. From this dialog, the artist builds her visual imaginary and the country is strengthened, as its genuine culture is honored and preserved.
