o Description: Mara FaÃÆ'Ã'ºndez is a Chilean visual artist who resides and works
in Santiago. Her work focuses on creating a narrative from the anecdotal, employing elements such as female figures that appear to be different versions of herself. For Mara,
painting also constitutes a moment of personal confrontation. The presence of everyday objects and diegetic texts act as secondary images. Through her painting, Mara explores themes of intimate imagination, such as love and heartbreak, the fleeting passion of infatuation, anxieties, and issues related to identity and sexuality. These themes offer a window into her intimacy, though expressed through fantasy: the artist creates situations driven by a feeling that places her in familiar settings, whether those that surround her or those from her
own history. The saturation of color and its interaction also form part of her pictorial interests.
