ABOUT THE ARTIST

Nayara Barros is a Brazilian artist. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, she currently lives in Marseille where she creates a colorful universe mixing urban elements with fauna and flaura on various media. Her lifelong fascination for the wildlife of her native Rio de Janeiro has inspired her to create poetic, loving and joyful visions of a lush fauna and flora. This collection made with acrylic and ink, brings together snakes, birds, monkeys and bananas in a variety of colors on plain backgrounds. A dominant color is emerging: green, a color that is particularly meaningful to Nayara, since it is the color of the forest so present in her hometown. Her aesthetic makes us plunge into it through the imaginary and the dream, reminding us of the importance of environmental protection so that these species continue to exist.
