This pen and watercolor painting is part of a series called Lisbon Ruins. Lisbon is a beatiful historic city and it's famous for its magnificent ruins. There are ruins all over the city: old palaces and castles, old buildings and even houses. I love the shapes and colors you can find in ruins, the effects of the passage of time and all the different layers of decay are really inspiring and bring me a sense of quiet contemplation that I hope to capture in these paintings.

Portugal
My name is Mariana Duarte Santos and I'm a figurative artist from Lisbon, Portugal. I work in oil, pen and watercolor and printmaking. My work has always been more about the world and my observation of it than about myself and any of my inner feelings/turmoil. My artistic subjects are almost always related to people, I’m interested in capturing the way they interact/relate to the world, other people, themselves and their surroundings. I’m also very drawn to the relationships between the individual and the collective, as well as life’s illusions and constructs. My work typically has a very strong narrative quality to it as I’m often inspired by stories, history, literature and cinema. I try to use fragments and moments in time/space as a suggestion of something bigger, something more or something hidden. Sometimes my paintings can seem very introspective, both in their themes and overall fell, but they’re always based on observation, both of people and the word around them. I base a good deal of my work in still frames of films and documentaries as well as a huge stack of old photographs I pick up in flee markets/antique shops and pictures I take myself. All these elements are selected, modified and combined to create quiet moments of beauty, mystery, suspense, narratives and suggestions.
