Before Spring Series (III) Painting

Tássia de Matos Bianchini (Brazil, 1988) studied Product Design at UFPR in Brazil, graduating in 2013. Following that, she turned her focus of interest towards the arts, mainly visual expression and literature. Having nurtured since then a multidisciplinary practice, she works with a variety of media and topic that interlace, with some core themes, as her research on abstract expression, memory, materiality, feminism and reflections on motion, time, and space. She is currently living and working in Amsterdam. Artist Statement My research entails the themes of expression, body, primal communication, memory, mythology, feminism, inner and outer ecologies, and expressions of space, time, and movement. I navigate these themes through the dynamics of contrast as action and contention, matter and spirit, inner and outer spaces, silence, and communication. I am interested in art processes as triggers for inner transformation; My process is oriented by (e)motion - of, and - within the body and its connection with thinking. I use intuition and movement in a certain environment as a meditation, that occurs by gathering of perceptions, both internal and external, that are then released through the works.
