BIOGRAPHY

Bibi Lei (b. 1985, Macau, China) is a Portuguese-Chinese artist based in Tokyo, Japan. Lei describes herself as a “childlike soul that never grows old,” which shines through in her dreamy, playful, and iridescent paintings. The artist works intuitively, using her bare hands as her primary tool. Piecing together scenes of purity and wonders while conjuring up a mesmerizing universe of colors and sensations. Unbound gestures form energetic scenes populated by Lei’s signature characters, which she often refers to as the Brave “children” or “girls”.They explore, dance, and float through the pure wonders of Lei’s colorful world. With curious eyes, the girls interact with one another and bravely explore the fantastical world of each canvas. These little ones have the power to flourish in the world with their color energies, bringing an unadulterated primitivity and hope. Lei sees her artistic practice as its own interconnected universe, one that continuously evolves with each body of work she creates.

Her characters she call "Mother & Muse," Bibi explores her emotions as a woman and her inner child. Her paintings express the spiritual connections between a mother and her inner child. Every brave mother is the guardian who protects her innocent child from evil. Together, they have the power to create joy and colorful energies. Bibi sees the uniqueness and colorful power in every woman. The connection between each mother & muse is determination, full of life, love & cuteness.
