“I took universal and timeless characters,” she told the Newspaper in interview last month […] I am not the type to paint landscapes. What I like is to take an existing photo and put my universe in it. “

It was during the pandemic that Mariana Mazza rediscovered her passion for painting, which she had developed as a teenager. “My mother bought me an easel and I did a lot of painting,” she told us. A year ago, with the pandemic, I officially started again. I set up a studio in my basement and did that full time. ”
