BIO - Marina Perez Simão

Marina Perez Simão was born in 1981 in Vitória - Espírito Santo, Brasil. She currently lives and work in the city of São Paulo.

Her work is a process based fundamentally on the accumulation and juxtaposition of memories and images. Through the crossing of personal experiences with multiple referents -from areas such as philosophy, literature and journalism-, she has developed her own work.

The variety of techniques makes his work his own, from collage, drawing or oil painting.

“... Her work stylizes the coexistence of images, their own and others' stories that are imprinted on their retina, through color, shape, and the absence of both…” x Sol Alac 2023

"...As an artist it takes a while to become yourself. When I first started, I had trouble with color. I couldn't figure out where it was needed. Nothing in painting should be free..." x Marina Perez Simão
