I'm Mara Montagna and I'm a painter.

I am passionate about painting and in recent years this has become my main activity in which I am trying to develop my personal style. I have always loved painting and drawing since I was little but my school and work paths led me to teaching for 42 years.

I managed to bring painting back into my life by attending evening school at the art high school in my city. This was a very nice experience of learning but also of sharing and exchange which allowed me to give painting a professional look. Becoming an art teacher legitimized me to consider myself a painter, no longer a hobbyist. This pushed me to search for my artistic identity.

Currently my curiosity leads me to seek new paths and in particular I use a mixed technique of acrylic and collage with which I manage to create intense images with a rich variety of textures. I'm interested in the combinations I can obtain with the different designs and textures that fabrics mixed with acrylic colors and rhinestones offer me. I love producing works with bright colors and strong contrasts. My works are both figurative and abstract, often represented in large sizes and on different media. My favorite subjects are a tribute to nature, be they animals, landscapes or flowers. Other recurring subjects are female figures who tell their story and their feelings, sometimes I address more current issues that touch me deeply. I like wood, rusty iron, stones and other natural materials that I often include in my works
