Mariana Acuña is a painter original from
Chile. Undoubtedly, taste for contamination and chromatic vitalism
are central elements of her pictorial poetry. Through thin spatulas
of color spread with great freedom and a technique almost
grafitistica, the artist creates a lively and vibrant chromatic
texture of materic quality. Pure and intense colors, expressive
freedom, create a fantasy and evocative world in which mysterious and
imaginary figures, animals and symbols, are inset finding their
foundation in an art where the inner needs are interwoven with
unconscious heritages of the South-American tradition. So, Acuña’s
painting turns itself into a kind of cryptographic alphabet, where
shapes, colors and symbols allude to things, turning this allusion in
an intangible wonder for the world. Acuña was born in Santiago de
Chile in 1968, but now she lives and works in Italy in Bolzano.
