Fefe Talavera is a gifted Brazilian-Mexican artist best-known for beaded masks and paintings inspired by dragons and winged monsters, animals from mythologies, creatures from dreams, pieces of bodies, etc.
The 42-year-old Sao Paulo-based artist uses acrylic paint to create her remarkable pieces. She depicts vibrant silhouettes and even large-scale murals, all inspired by her culture. Her monster paintings are metaphors of human emotions including anger, fear, dreams, and desire.
“When we looked at our reflection in the work, we would be seeing ourselves with respect and love, and it is this look that we should have with the Amazonia,” she said in a statement for Colossal.
