IBRAIM NASCIMENTO 

 

Ibraim Nascimento is an international, Afro-Brazilian artist from the historic city of Cachoeira, Bahia; he has exhibited his work throughout Brazil and the United States, from California to Texas.Ibraim studied fine arts at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), but has been an artist since he was a young kid. Ibraim’s artwork is rich with soul, culture, and tradition. His art is fundamentally embodied, and thus with each brush stroke he shares a piece of his journey, from his upbringing in Bahia to his migration into the United States. Ibraim’s art is meant to invoke emotion and connection and is as much performance as it is acrylic on canvas. While Ibraim’s work is deeply connected to Brazil, he rediscovered himself in the Latinx and Black art communities of Houston. For him, art is a joy that only exists at the moment you experience it. When he’s not painting, he's creating elaborate props from recycled materials, conducting live-painting performances, and directing prop-design for local Houston churches. When Ibraim isn’t creating, he loves to spend his time teaching art to youth with over 15 years of experience teaching kids from ages 2-18 in Brazil and the United States.
