Refuge Painting

Pleasure, my name is Mariana Scanholato. My work celebrates femininity, delving into states of introspection to explore the connection between subjectivity and the body. My characters not only depict human emotions but also delve into the depths of the psyche, capturing the charm, challenge, and drama of this inner universe. As a psychologist and psychoanalyst trained at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), I bring an unparalleled understanding of emotional complexities, infusing my works with a unique psychological depth. As a self-taught artist, I draw inspiration from my own memories, conveying sensations experienced in the most intimate and unforgettable moments of my personal history. My artistic style, rooted in psychology and enriched by my experiences as a woman, mother, and artist, creates a powerful narrative that delves into the deepest corners of the human soul, especially in moments of contemplation and introspective reflection.
