Mariana Andrade

Mariana Andrade was born in 1999, Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal. She has a degree in Fine Arts (2021-2024) that she completed in the Upper School of Arts and Design in Caldas da Rainha (ESAD.CR).

During her academic and artistic journey she’s developed majority of her work in painting and drawing. They’re characterised by her deep interest in the subconscious which materializes through the compositions of organic elements in a pictorial realm that is either fragmented or finds a unification in itself. This process is fulfilled in the three-dimensional pictorial surface and the unusual materials she chooses for that purpose.

She frequently works with graphite and oil pastel in a compulsive method with the intent of creating multiple layers and consequently erasing them; she also explores with pen, acrylic and oil paint.
