Cybèle Varela (born 1943, Petrópolis) is a Brazilian mixed-media artist. She is a painter, video artist, and photographer. ==Career== From 1962 to 1966, Cybèle Varela studied visual arts at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro.〔(Itau Cultural's Encyclopedia of Brazilian Art )〕 She began her career as a painter and sculptor, winning the ''Young Contemporary Art Prize'' at the Museum of Contemporary Art, University of São Paulo in 1967 with the triptych: "Of all that could have been, but that wasn’t". The same year she exhibited for the first time at the Sao Paulo Art Biennial.〔(Governo do Estado de Sao Paulo )〕 Varela was awarded a scholarship by the French government to study in Paris at the Ecole du Louvre in 1968-69. In 1971-72 she stayed at the Cité Internationale des Arts,〔(Cité Internationale des Arts )〕 and in 1976-78 studied at the École Pratique des Hautes Études. The French art critic Pierre Restany wrote “Cybèle Varela does not paint landscapes. The utter commonplace of the mirror-image is for her nothing but a pretext”. In Geneva in the 1980s, her work focussed on themes from nature, in the 1990s it became more figurative, augmented with photography, digital printing and video, and since 2000 has moved towards pop surrealism. In 1997, the Brazilian Government donated one of her paintings to the United Nations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cybèle Varela」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
