BETHANYA ABEBE

WEAVING MEMORY, COLOUR, AND THE SEARCH FOR MEANING

Brooklyn, NY, USA

Bethanya abebe

Bethanya Abebe's work is a vivid exploration of self, memory, and emotion, shaped by both her everyday surroundings and internal reflections. Her figurative paintings capture the overlooked moments of daily life, while her abstract works delve into deeper personal realms, expressing thoughts, emotions, and the search for identity. Influenced by her childhood in Ethiopia and her experiences in the U.S., she blends bold colors, gestural forms, and intricate compositions to create a dynamic visual language. Her background in fiber arts further enriches her practice, incorporating embroidery and fabric to add depth and texture. Through an intuitive yet deliberate process, Bethanya transforms raw sketches into layered narratives, inviting viewers to connect with the beauty and complexity of human experience.

BIOGRAPHY

BETHANYA ABEBE

Born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 1994, Bethanya Abebe moved to the United States in 2008, later earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of North Texas in 2018 and a Master of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute in 2021. Now based in Brooklyn, NY, she brings everyday moments to life through a vibrant palette and expressive compositions. Working primarily with acrylic on canvas, her paintings capture the fleeting, often-overlooked details of daily life, reflecting both personal experience and emotional depth.

Bethanya’s practice extends beyond traditional painting. Her introduction to fiber arts during her undergraduate studies ignited a fascination with embroidery, tufting, and faux fur—mediums she seamlessly weaves into her work. By constantly exploring new materials and pushing creative boundaries, she continues to evolve her artistic language, blurring the lines between painting and textile to create dynamic, tactile experiences.
