Tadeo
“Understanding the ambiguities of the human nature”
That’s what captivated Tadeo De La Barra, and introduced him into the world of art. Of course, as the son of one of the greatest Peruvian artists, it could not have been any other way. Being told by his father that the human body presented both the greatest difficulties but at the same time the greatest achievements in art, he pursued figurative art drawing and painting at the young age of seven years old.
Tadeo was born in Lima, Peru in August 30th, 1977. In his continuous search for artistic development, Tadeo enrolled in the prestigious School of Fine Arts at 18; and as the first student in his class he was invited to participate in the Quimera ’99 exhibit in Mexico, where his art is highly regarded as one of the best from South America.
His paintings are a window to an intelligent and creative mind; his strokes are the voice of a true artist. His art transcends hyperrealism exposing the observer to a surreal and delightful experience. Brilliant, gifted, and spontaneous, his artistic achievement elates the senses and portrays the exuberant and yet down to earth, and humble mastermind behind the canvas. Simple, as any great man should be.
“Daliah” original acrylic size 50x50” by Tadeo, is a vibrant expressionist portrayal of love and the arts. This work is born from the never ending cycle of inspiration where love inspires the artists and the artists inspire the lovers. Tadeo’s amazing skills bring him right to the spotlight as one of the most talented contemporary artists. The use of lines in his work is fundamental from the colorful patterns that make up his landscapes to the delineation of his characters profiles. The radiant colors are the path to lose oneself in Tadeo’s magnetic “Night of two moons”.
