For over fifteen years, Marianne worked as a graphic and web designer. During that time, she developed a keen eye for visual rhythm, composition, and meaning. Among other initiatives, she organised workshops with designer Fernando Medina under the title Las Ideas Primero (Ideas First). Later, she took a detour into the corporate world, where she grew into the role of Business Analyst in a multinational HR environment — absorbing design thinking, user interface design, and cross-cultural dynamics.

But the urge to create never left. Over the years, it whispered through collages, cards, furniture, and sketches. In 2021, that whisper grew louder as she began to paint again — and by 2023, the need to dive in could no longer be set aside. She spent a year working under weekly mentorship with Spanish painter David Conde.

In May 2024, she left her job to dedicate herself fully to painting.

Her current work — a series of acrylic paintings — moves from figuration to abstraction and everything in between, searching for form, resonance, and rhythm. Recurring themes include transformation, transience, and balance. Her process blends intuition and reflection: part exploration, part surrender.

Her paintings navigate tensions between order and chaos, change and continuity, memory and uncertainty. Beyond belief systems, she investigates the space between image and imagination — what remains when everything changes.

Marianne believes in the slowness of looking. In the intimacy of the surface. In work that doesn’t explain, but resonates.
