Mimi Tavares

Born 24.8.1962 in Lisbon,Portugal

I live and work in Lisbon,I have a degree on Painting,I exhibit regularly since 1988,I´m a Painting teacher in a private school in Lisbon, I´m part of a popular pop band called Ena Pa 2000 and a mother of two.

I´ve long since worked with everyday,common,discreet objects.I´m interested in exploring issues such as domesticity,familiarity and intimacy.I like the way objects are constant and reliable,as opposed to people´s changeability.
I sometimes use everyday objects to portray myself or others, as well as emotions and relationships.

Degree on Painting by the Fine Art School of Lisbon in 1988.
