Malagueta is a fusion of culture, folkloric tales and legends colorfully
rendered and set in voluptuous, airy atmospheres inspired primarily by the
artists Brazilian heritage. Saturday, July 17th, from 6pm – Midnight Tatiana Suarez (b. 1983) is a Brooklyn-based Miami native. This emerging
artist is an alumni of the University of Miami's Graphic Design program, and
also works as a freelance illustrator. Her charming style is distinctive --
first, the trademark eyes that draw the viewer into a beautiful and surreal
world. Suarez takes full advantage of the oil paint's ability to create creamy,
soft images on canvas. Rich with symbols that stem from her Brazilian and El
Salvadorian heritage, subjects appear as if they are under water, frozen in
lovely stillness. The doe-eyed figures look childlike, but also exude sexual
overtones, ornamented with plants, insects and other unsettling accompaniments.
Beauty is presented concurrently with exotic -- even creepy -- creatures to
create enchanted narratives.
