Italy, 1963

Carla Mariani lives in Tuscany. She was born in 1963 in Caracas. Her creativity urges her into Arts. This artistic instinct blended with her pragmatic side first inclined her to follow a career in architecture: she worked in design studios mostly in Venezuela and in the Caribbean, Aruba. However the architectural design did not fulfil her strong need of a more physical and emotional expression. Blown in Tuscany and inspired by the gentle hills modeled by nature and history of the Val d’Orcia, she dedicates to sculpture, creating soft and flowing forms, as abstract flowers which represent the harmony of the movement and the permanent cycles of nature. In his 2D works, a soft yet very material feeling can be identified, playing with the bright colours that belong to her being in contact with tropical South America; colours, ink and sinuous shapes that intertwine and create infinite universes. Finally, with a personal interpretation of the harmony of these forms, the observer rediscovers its own deep hidden instincts in the loving embrace or in the struggle between the opposing forces.
