Héctor Julio Páride Bernabó (February 7, 1911 – October 2, 1997) was an Argentine-Brazilian artist, researcher, writer, historian, and journalist. He is best known by his nickname and artistic name, Carybé, which refers to a type of piranha. This name originated from his time in the scouts.

Carybé passed away from heart failure following a meeting of the lay board of directors of the Candomblé community Cruz Santa Opô Afonjá Society, of which he was an active member.

Over the course of his career, Carybé produced thousands of works, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, and sketches. His work remains an important part of Afro-Brazilian art and culture. He was honored as Obá de Xangô, an honorary position at Ilê Axé Opô Afonjá, a prominent Candomblé religious center in Salvador, Brazil.

Some of Carybé’s most notable works can be found at the Afro-Brazilian Museum in Salvador. One of his significant contributions is a series of 27 cedar panels, each representing a different Orixá (divinity) of Candomblé. Each panel depicts a divinity, complete with their associated implements and animal symbols. These works were commissioned by the Banco da Bahia S.A. (now Banco BBM S.A.) and were originally installed in the bank's branch on Avenida Sete de Setembro in 1968.

Carybé’s influence extended internationally as well. In collaboration with American Airlines, Odebrecht, and the Miami-Dade Aviation Department, two of his murals were installed at Miami International Airport. These murals were originally displayed at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, where they were part of a public art contest. Carybé won both the first and second prizes for the contest. Upon the demolition of JFK’s terminal, American Airlines donated the murals to Miami-Dade County, and Odebrecht helped with the process of removing, restoring, and reinstalling them at Miami International Airport. The two murals, titled "Rejoicing and Festival of the Americas" and "Discovery and Settlement of the West," depict vibrant scenes from various American festivals and the pioneers' journey into the American West.

Carybé also contributed significantly to literature. He illustrated four books by Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez, including One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Autumn of the Patriarch, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, and Love in the Time of Cholera. His woodcut illustrations for One Hundred Years of Solitude are particularly famous for vividly portraying the fictional town of Macondo. The illustrations, with their colorful, winding houses, the railway bridge, and the hot, humid atmosphere, bring the setting to life, allowing readers to immerse themselves further into the world García Márquez created. Carybé’s woodcuts have thus become an integral part of the novel’s literary legacy, enhancing the reader's experience by adding a rich visual dimension to the story.
