Mariana Peirano – Portraits Art Exhibition

• Artist Portfolio Magazine – 2016 Portraits Art Exhibition
• Mariana Peirano – Ventura, CA

My concern for the human condition is reflected in my artwork. The beauty of the human body and the perplexity of facial expressions are all recurring themes in my work. I like to create images that evoke emotion and portray the complexity of the mind.
I consider my work contemporary realism, however my recent work has a touch of the mystical and spiritual. Through my art I attempt to reveal the dramatic experiences and the monumental transformations that occur in our human life.
Although I’ve worked in acrylic and pastel, I love the richness and vividness of the oils. They allow me to take my time and work in layers. It’s as if I discover a new painting in each layer.
My process reflects my belief that I’m merely an instrument for the creative forces of the universe. I’m inspired by images that evoke a strong emotional response in me.
