Is a Mestizo artist of Mexican descent. Her main studies in the arts are in classical ballet and contemporary performance (México, US, Canada, Germany). Mariana is an interpreter, creator, street artist, and her artistic practice is heavily influenced by a socio-cultural understanding. The major milestones that have shaped her art include being raised in México, migrating north, and developing deep connections and research in the Middle East (Palestine, Jordan). She’s created art via performance, dance, installation, in the streets and venues of México, Canada, Palestine, Jordan and Germany. At this moment her main concern is to expand the art viewer demographics and to question value systems in a society. Mariana has worked with many artists, directors and choreographers in Toronto while touring across México, Canada, U.S. and Europe. But she has developed artistic and life-long relationships with Brian Solomon (Anishnaabe/Irish), Daina Ashbee (Cree/Dutch), Jumana Dabis (Palestinian) and with The Dietrich Group, D.A. Hoskins. Mariana is a Dora Mavis Moore Award recipient.
