Mimi's painting recreates, many years after its apocalyptic outbreak in the 60s, the fascination of Pop art, but adding a touch of ridicule and vulgarity that brings it closer to the kitsch universe. The artist ironically portrays the world of feminine objects, perhaps appealing to an ongoing emancipation of women or, perhaps, of humankind itself, which is dominated by machines, the emblem of contemporary society. Instead of liberating, they enslave.

Mimi

Mimi Tavares was born in 1962. She completed an Illustration course with the painter Maria Keil in 1982. She holds a degree in Painting from E.S.B.A.L. in 1988 and has been teaching Painting at Arte Ilimitada since 2003. She has been exhibiting individually since 1985, with her first exhibition "Pintura" at E.S.B.A.L. in Lisbon. Among the several solo exhibitions she has already held, we highlight her presence in galleries such as Galeria de S. Bento (Lisbon), Galeria Monumental (Lisbon), Galeria Paula Fampa (Braga), and the Museu de José Malhoa (Caldas da Rainha). She has also participated in several collective exhibitions, both in Portugal and abroad. Her works are represented in important art collections, such as Caixa Geral de Depósitos, Colecção da Direcção-Geral do Património Cultural (Ministério da Cultura de Portugal), and Fundação António Prates.
