Mariana Acuña Jimenez

Mariana Acuna’s oil and mixed media paintings on wood or board are an appeal to dream dimensions, playful sensibilities, divine feminine energies and the flame of consciousness.

The paintings depict the ecstatic dance of body, mind and spirit, reaching out to and reflecting the consciousness of both the viewer and the wider universe. These jeweltoned ethereal landscapes harbor human and animal archetypes nestled in the fold of flowing streams of color which reflect the transcultural communicability of ancient knowledge.

Although she migrated to Europe, the spirit of Acuna’s Chilean homeland remains a strong influence in her work today. Working with a variety of materials - oil, acrylic, wax, pigment and found objects – she creates works which are a spiritually elevating and communicatory channel. Mariana Acuna obtained her degree from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in 1993 and has exhibited professionally in Paris, Santiago, Trapani, Palermo and Milano.
