About Mariavero

Mariavero paints people. Realistic portraits and figures in acrylic, built up layer by layer in saturated color, with the gestures, faces and symbols of Latin American visual culture close to the surface.

Every canvas starts with a face or a moment that would not let go. What ends up on it is dramatic, detailed and unapologetically colorful.
