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.
