Janire Echebarria de Dios (born 1985 in the Basque Country, Spain) is an art therapist and multidisciplinary artist based in Bilbao. Graduated from the University of Fine Arts of the Basque Country (2013), currently completing her PhD in Contemporary Art and Art Education. Graduated in art therapy at the University of Girona and Grefart (2016). In 2020 nominated with the Erasmus Scholarship at the National Academy of Arts in Sofia.
The University of Fine Arts of the Basque Country offers spaces for art therapy and creativity, where through artistic work she can explore together with students and teachers the inner-relationships within the academic environment, opportunities for humanization of educational processes and techniques for emotional management.
Due to her academic training and research in art therapy, her concepts are grounded of the idea of the leading role of the human being and its psyche in therapist work and the organic materials reveals the individual history and personal journey. Through photography, painting and textile materials, which are increasingly present in his work, she takes as a reference the identity processes and emotional movements arising from life experiences. She plays with the limits of art, arousing a debate on the power and place of artistic creation in different socio-cultural contexts, especially in the field of education.

The Herbarium project explores the work environment in contemporary culture in which ideas are created and exchanged. The focus of Herbarium is to compile a collection of sealed creative energy in boxes (40х40х10, 40x20x10 or 20х40х10) of different generations of artists around the world. The contents of each box are accompanied by a description and a sound file with the artist's voice. The artists, invited by the curator of "Herbarium" could choose two new participants - so the project traces the exchange of creative energy in the artworld. The development of the collection has no time limits, it grows exponentially with each new participant until the final exhibition is announced. The H Talks series (video portraits of the artists) are shot during the preparation of each presentation of the Herbarium collection in the artists work environment and studios. All the information, gathered in the process of developing the collection, will be available to all researchers, curators, gallery owners, students or art lovers who are interested in the less visible mechanisms through which contemporary culture functions.
