STATEMENT

Collage, drawing and appropriation of found images are the techniques that Mariana uses in her artworks. She collects anything that comes to her attention and intrigues her imagination. She re-establishes the identity of already-made objects through their re-use, re-arrangement and fragmentation. Through her work, she attempts to examine the dematerialization of the human existence with images of repetitive uneven human figures. Her mixed media creations embody the human imperfection. She emphasizes the necessity of the magazines’ beauty deconstruction and misconception by disfiguring her human characters.
