Brazilian born painter Thai Mainhard's intuitive and expressive abstract paintings externalize her relationship to the world we inhabit. With a practice that harnesses her own raw and immediate need to create, Mainhard’s work is fraught with tension, yet has a harmonic energy. Each abstract painting combines expressive mark making with dense blocks of color exploring the opposing forces that make up our lives. In her artistic methods, Thai Mainhard encounters human nature, exploring happiness, frustration, surprise, connection, spirituality, and overall thinking processing. Each of her works is emotional; it is a lush expression of her inner jungle. Mainhard analyzes human senses and tries to relieve unseen tension through intuitive methods, contrast color choices, catchy brushstrokes, and chaotic markings. Going through a deep internal process, the artist creates an artwork that represents human nature’s fragility and opposes it to the robustness of emotions and feelings.
