In the alinhavados, a group of works in which Mariana Palma superimposes layers of photographs printed on voile, sewing them together with wide stitches, the artist creates small-scale compositions that leave the design environment and enter the realm of ideas. The transparency of these fabrics reveals fragments that would otherwise not be seen, due to the juxtaposition of elements, evidencing part of the conception process of her paintings.
Biography
Mariana Palma
Mariana Palma's work is mainly represented by paintings, watercolors and photographs, in which colors and images of nature are explored in different formats and technical solutions. In her paintings, which can reach large dimensions, the entire surface of the canvas is covered with color patterns obtained through the marbling technique, which results in complex chromatic patterns. Compositions are created on these patterns with disparate elements, such as tiles, drains, plants, flowers and fabrics. Combining a precise rhythmic composition with a drama that evokes baroque painting, the images created by Palma sometimes make the creases and veins between petals and planning indistinguishable, and sometimes mix up elementary assumptions of painting, such as figure and background, distinctions between planes and the notions of landscape and portrait. Reflections on temporality and vitality also gain space in the watercolors, photographs and works on fabric, in which the artist exercises the approximation between different organic elements.
