Andrés Mariani (B. 1970) lives and practices in his homeland Argentina, having spent over 12 years in Europe, living in cities such as Berlin, Dublin, and Barcelona, where he established his atelier in the Gothic Quarter. He currently operates a gallery-atelier in Puerto Madero and an art studio in A.F.A.'s facilities in Ezeiza. His work, primarily using acrylic and oil on canvas, centres around “a constant quest for dynamic expression”, which he achieves by combining abstraction alongside figurative elements through palette knife and brushwork techniques. The methods of this signature style known as "Marianitis" draws influence from his time in Europe, particularly taking inspiration from the textures and aesthetic of European classical architecture. His paintings aim to provoke profound reflection and emotional connection. He has held several solo exhibitions and has dedicated works to other celebrated individuals, including Lionel Messi and Pope Francis.
