The Brain Print

Hey, I'm Mariana, and I'm an artist who loves exploring the connection between modern life and the natural world. I'm all about repurposing and transforming discarded objects to give them new meaning and extend their lifespan. My diverse portfolio ranges from traditional painting to experimental forms like land art and trash art. I'm also passionate about sewing and photography, and you'll find a variety of media represented in my work. In my prints, I use rust to represent the process of decay, and I explore textures and craftsmanship. I also create unique and captivating accessories like geometric brass and leather bracelets and handmade copper and brass bracelets set on leather. Each design is unique and reflects my personal style, ranging from intricate sacred geometry patterns to bold Art Deco-inspired designs, from natural world elements to psychedelic elements. I also create pieces using mushroom mycelium and mushrooms as a primary material. By cultivating living materials through various substrates, I'm pushing the boundaries of traditional art mediums. I aim to research and develop innovative ideas with a clear focus on social and environmental issues. By harnessing the remarkable potential of living mycelium, I'm creating art that challenges our perceptions of what art can be and helps address vital issues affecting our society and environment. My art practice is a reflection of my exploration of different materials and mediums to create something new and expressive a rethink of traditional art mediums. It's a lifelong journey of self-discovery and growth and I'm constantly pushing myself to try out and learn about new materials and techniques.
