ABOUT
 

Eva Bibas is a Venezuelan-American interdisciplinary artist with an ancient and robust Sephardic heritage that encompasses the Iberian Peninsula, MENAT region, and South America (Venezuela/Peru/Amazonia). Her legacy is enriched as a result of multiple forced migrations, which caused her family to keep their traditions even closer. Hence, themes of intersectional identity, transformations, and spirituality are a constant thread feeding her intellectual, emotional, and artistic endeavors. Her art practice is rooted in Jewish mysticism and through various means, among them creating her own mediums, she explores the relationship between physicality and spirituality, attempting to make sense of deeper layers of reality.  

During her undergraduate studies, Eva was selected for opportunities that have supported her research-based artistic practice, such as the Dean’s Research Awards, Tufts Summer-Scholars Program, and Susan J Feigenbaum Memorial Prize in Judaic Studies. In 2021, her undertakings were featured in a Tufts Now profile. Her work has been displayed in important juried shows including exhibitions at the Dalí, Perez, and Rubell Museums, and she also has works in private collections. Through her art Eva hopes to highlight potent mystical concepts from her tradition, sharing this transformative knowledge with her audience.
