Marisa Contreras Marulanda (Bogotá-Colombia,1986) is a multifaceted woman who combines in a very interesting way her intellectual capacity with her artistic facet. Marisa is a plastic artist, political scientist, gender expert (PhD), researcher and writer. Marisa Contreras Marulanda’s uses abstract expressions to communicate her feelings, emotions, and energy. Through her abstract expressions, she communicates feelings, emotions, and energy that are difficult to express through words or actions. Her color palette is diverse and impactful, and she uses strong, bold strokes to express herself. Sometimes her communication is spontaneous, resembling Action Painting, while at other times it is the result of the sensations evolving during her trips, landscapes of the memories (Bogotá Gardens 2005, Caribbean Breeze 2022), or revelations that appear in dreams (Dreaming Cherry Blossoms 2022). Marisa’s work also includes clear ideas, concepts and political messages as seen in works like In my Parallel Polis (2009), Feeling Ukraine (2022), or Colombia: Peace and Reconciliation (2022).
