Pira Mariass, a fluid artist from Portugal, who says about herself:

"I define myself as a self-taught artist who always considers himself a beginner, learns every single day, is not afraid to experiment or fail - that's how we learn, right? Trial and error.

Among my many and sometimes conflicting personalities, I recently discovered that I am in the process of (re)constructing a new way of relating to myself.

Now I can’t imagine my life without paints, canvases, palette knives, varnishes...

For me, 2021 has been a year of loss and pain. Sometimes pain makes us discover that there are wonderful things around us that we never thought about before, and that perhaps our priorities need to change.

When I paint, I feel like I'm rebooting, giving my heart, my mind and all my worries a rest. And I feel free.

Inspired mainly by the colors of nature, I can fly over imaginary universes that temporarily calm me down... Just go with the flow and be happy..."
