ABOUT ME
I'm a black-indigenous visual artist with a degree in Visual Communication from the School of Fine Arts at UFRJ - Rio de Janeiro. I work with the construction of narratives that dialogue with human and non-human bodies. Reconnecting the superficial mind and the subconscious, looking firstly at places associated with real life, urban and exposed places, and secondly at internal places, called supracelestial through speculations in cosmology.
My work also engages with political and socio-environmental issues I use different media to cover the multitude of artistic expressions, including photography, video and painting.
Mariana Werneck é artista plastica negra-indígena Natural do Rio de Janeiro. Criada no Rio Grande do Norte. Tem graduação em Comunicação visual pela Escola de Belas Artes da UFRJ.
Trabalha com a construção de narrativas que abordam a cosmovisão de mundo, dialoga com corpos humanos e não humanos. Reconectando a mente superficial e o subconsciente, percebe primeiro para lugares associados à vida real, lugares urbanos e expostos, e depois para lugares internos, chamados supra-celestiais, através de especulações em cosmologia indígenas.
Utiliza diferentes mídias para cobrir
multiplicidade de expressões artísticas, incluindo fotografia, vídeo e pintura.
