Bibi Flores

From a young age, Bibi was surrounded by art. Her father was an artist with a studio at home and art materials of all kinds were her playthings. With paint as her main medium, Bibi works in acrylic and occasionally oil. At times, her work takes the form of photography, sculpture, and instillations, but she always comes back to paint on canvas or paper. Her most recent series, “Goodbye to Assholes, I deserve much better,” is a feminist body of work addressing a society in which women are often the target of violence and oppression. A personal exploration about boundaries and repressed feelings, these paintings are about removing “assholes” (cabrones in Spanish) from her personal life. Each piece is a mantra, amulet or protective shield of sorts, and represents a healing process for the self and other survivors of abuse around the world. Moving forward, Bibi plans to continue with this series and through her passion for art, help to heal and inspire others.
