BIOGRAPHY:
Suarez lives and works in Miami. Since receiving her BFA in illustration and design from the University of Miami in 2005, Suarez has quickly become a mainstay in the world of pop surrealism and muralism, showing in galleries nationwide including San Francisco’s Spoke Art and Los Angeles’ Corey Helford Gallery. She has collaborated with brands such as Netflix, L’Oreal, Reebok, Secret Deodorant, Olukai, JanSport, and Becks. Suarez has also painted murals extensively, logging locations such as Okinawa, Hawaii, Detroit, Texas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Mexico, Sweden and Miami’s prestigious Wynwood Walls.Born and raised in Miami, painter and muralist Tatiana Suarez, or Tati, paints life into legend. With a Brazilian mother and artist father from El Salvador, Tati’s influences are a multicultural mix of past (stories passed down by family) and present (stories from her hometown Miami). The ethereal realm she grew up reading and hearing about finds life beyond the pages of legends past, emerging anew to live in cities, and hearts, worldwide.Tati’s tropical palette and verdant, layered symbolism point to the central theme/character harmonious in her artwork: Nature. From exotic rainforests and swampy escapades, to salty adventures with wavy-haired mermaids, elements of the natural – while not always from ‘our world’ – prevails throughout Tati’s artistic multiverse.She takes us on a sensory journey into the Amazon to discover a sultry world alive with flora and fauna characteristic to a rainforest, including parrots, snakes, bees, water lilies and lotus flowers. Highly symbolic, these aquatic plants resemble birth and regrowth and the ability to grow in murky conditions; the lotus is believed to have given birth to the sun, and water lilies represent optimism, rebirth, good fortune, enlightenment and peace.
