Mariel Art is an Argentine-born contemporary artist based in Dublin, Ireland, whose work explores the relationship between travel, memory, place and emotion. Having lived in different European cities and travelled extensively, Mariel draws inspiration from the distinctive atmosphere, architecture, culture and stories of each place she encounters. For Mariel, travelling and painting are intrinsically connected. Every city offers a new visual language, and her practice transforms these experiences into expressive compositions that capture not only a place, but the feeling of being there. Dublin, her adopted home, remains an important source of inspiration alongside the many European destinations that have shaped her artistic journey. Her work has been exhibited in Dublin and internationally, including Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Zurich and Basel. With collectors across the world, Mariel continues to develop an increasingly international presence. Her upcoming group exhibition in Florence represents another step in this journey. A distinctive signature of her artistic identity is her celebrated Ladies in Red—elegant and enigmatic female figures that explore femininity, confidence, movement and individuality. Alongside these iconic women, Mariel creates atmospheric city scenes and works inspired by the places that leave a lasting impression on her. Her technique combines expressive brushwork with the rich texture of a palette knife. She works primarily with acrylic on canvas, complemented by subtle touches of watercolour that add luminosity, delicacy and depth to the final composition. Mariel’s art is ultimately about experience: collecting impressions from the world and transforming them into colour, texture and emotion. Her growing connection with Italy makes Venice a particularly meaningful destination for her artistic journey. She would be delighted to exhibit in Venice and, importantly, to experience the city in person—allowing its unique atmosphere, history and beauty to become part of her next chapter as an artist.
