BARBARA MENDES has been exhibiting her paintings in New York City, Chicago and   Los Angeles since 1973. She invented her style of “Epic Paintings” in her youth as her large canvases weave imaginary and reality-based images, filled with patterns of raw, brilliant color; creating intricate arrangements and compositions.

Change Gonna Come

Her subjects reflect her fascination with different cultures, the cross-country odyssey of marriage and motherhood, the revelations of womanhood, and the trials of ‘90’s arts activism in Downtown Los Angeles.

In 1992, Ms. Mendes came face-to-face with her Jewish heritage and began the path of Teshuva, or Return. The study, practice and celebration of Torah Judaism eventually became the driving force in her life and art, and has connected her to an audience tuned to the content and complexity of her work.

Utopia

Ms. Mendes has always believed that art can and should uplift the viewer. Torah is meant to be a light to the nations. Her art strives to reveal and glory in this light.
