NATURAL IMPRESSIONS

The 64 artists from 22 different nationalities selected for this exhibition not only enrich our consensus on artistic expression and cultural perspective but also expand our understanding of nature and its representation in the arts. This reflective approach challenges established conventions, allowing for diverse interpretations and representations of the world. It awakens human consciousness to the source of inspiration that the capacity to imagine represents, encouraging the audience to reflect on their relationship with the world and recognize the importance of art as a profound connection with the intrinsic essence of humanity.

The work of Mariana Porto (São

Paulo, 1974) revolves around fabric

as its primary medium. In addition

to chromatic research and material

combinations, her works explore the

boundaries between art and object,

often delving into a mythical space

through universal symbols. The artist

has been expanding her repertoire of

media and languages, exemplified by

performances and their documentation

in videos and photos, as well as the

occupation of architectural spaces

with textile installations. Collaborative

authorship also manifests in works

where the artist invites participation,

listening, and collaboration with

viewers. Having graduated in Fine

Arts from the Santa Marcelina College,

Mariana has exhibited her work at

the Museum of Art of the Federal

University of Ceará, where her pieces

are part of the collection, as well as

at Espaço Galpão (São Paulo), Sesc

Copacabana (Rio de Janeiro), and the

National Watercolor Museum (Mexico

City). In 2019, she founded Atelier 284,

an exhibition and cultural space in São

Paulo. She has conceived and directed

initiatives such as Jade Handmade,

focused on textile development and

special projects, and Objeto Design, a

studio for creating utilitarian products

using cast aluminum, sustainably

sourced wood, and blown glass.
