Renata Barros grew up living with Art.
Her father, collector and friend of several artists, her mother, a painter, were the first to motivate her to direct her interest towards the path of the arts, by providing her with an environment in which artists and making art were always present.
Since she was a child, Renata attended painting and drawing workshops and in her teens studied with Baravelli, Cassio Michalany and Carlos Fajardo. She studied Fine Arts at FAAP and Philosophy at USP, spent 2 years in Paris and when she returned to Brazil in 1984 he started participating in exhibitions. Renata produced a figurative painting that depicted scenes from everyday life.
Renata Barros has worked for many years with the presentation of the body and its parts, autobiographically. As a continuation of autobiographical series Renata Barros since 1996 produced books and diaries of glass: the transparency of the material works as a reference to its content. What is seen are engraved and cut shapes that illustrate the objects, accompanied by subtle writings. Bodies and their parts.
