Hector Julio Páride Bernabó, known as Carybé (Lanús, Argentina, 1911 - Salvador, Bahia, 1997), was a multifaceted artist who worked as a painter, printmaker, draftsman, illustrator, mosaicist, ceramist, carver, and muralist. From a young age, Carybé was involved in the arts, attending his older brother Arnaldo Bernabó’s ceramics studio in Rio de Janeiro around 1925. Between 1941 and 1942, he traveled through South American countries and, after returning to Argentina, translated Mário de Andrade’s book "Macunaíma" into Spanish in 1943, the same year he held his first solo exhibition in Buenos Aires.

In 1944, Carybé visited Salvador and was deeply influenced by the local culture and religiosity. He worked at the "Diário Carioca" newspaper in Rio de Janeiro in 1946 and was hired by Carlos Lacerda to work at the "Tribuna da Imprensa" newspaper between 1949 and 1950. In 1950, he moved permanently to Salvador to work on panels for the Centro Educacional Carneiro Ribeiro, invited by Anísio Teixeira, then Secretary of Education of Bahia.

Carybé became an active member of the Bahian arts renewal movement, working alongside artists like Mario Cravo Júnior and Jenner Augusto. He became a Brazilian citizen in 1957 and, in 1981, published "Iconography of African Gods in the Candomblé of Bahia." He illustrated works by renowned authors such as Gabriel García Márquez and Jorge Amado, cementing his reputation as one of Brazil's leading visual artists.
