Taly Cohen (b. 1978) is a contemporary artist based in São Paulo, Brazil. Her work explores urban space, the human condition, and her cultural heritage. Cohen’s art is recognized for its vibrancy and rich colors, reflecting the diversity of Brazilian culture and the vivacity of its people. Her paintings incorporate vinyl, acrylic, spray paint, collage, and acrylic ink pen. The strong serpentine lines in her work superimposed over abstract, dreamlike vistas allude to one's lineage, in particular to Cohen's own Jewish ancestry. She honors the survival of her grandmother and other ancestors during the Holocaust, and their passion to live and thrive. Her maternal grandparents collected European art while living in Poland. Their collection was confiscated by the Nazis, but their love of art was never stolen and has been passed down to Cohen’s two young daughters. Cohen began painting at age 9, repeating and connecting the lines in her work to underscore her bond with her heritage. - Natasha Gural (Fine Arts Journalist, Forbes USA) for Chase Contemporary, New York.​
