Conexões - Connections
Artist: Ju Barros
Based in Guaratinguetá, São Paulo, Brasil
A connection is a feeling. The essence of each connection is in the way we look, in the way of expressing oneself, and connecting with others. Looks say more than words, because they reveal intentions, thoughts and feelings. By being sincere, connections create bonds and connect souls. They make it possible to listen in silence, to experience a deeper feeling that allows exchanges that express the truth that exists in each one.

Ju Barros, a visual artist from Minas Gerais residing in Guaratinguetá-Sao Paulo, expresses herself through mosaics with glass painting in the figurative style. Master in Computer Graphics from PUC – Rio de Janeiro, she took specialization courses in mosaic, glass painting, drawing, and art history. She participated in exhibitions in Brazil and abroad, magazines and art auctions.
She creates overlays simulating perspectives through figures stylized by organic and geometric shapes in which contours are united by continuous lines. The feminine is the protagonist of an instigating narrative in which the colors give harmony to the whole by associating the painting on transparent glass with its inherent shine.
Her technique consists of a meticulous and detailed process that involves the creation of the composition, the cutting of the shapes in transparent glass, the painting of the cut pieces, the gluing on the support, the application of the grout and the cleaning and finishing.
