Art has been part of me since I was born.
Oddly I am in the business and financial field since my parents placed me into a different path for the delirium of a safe job and a brilliant career.
I continued to follow my real passion as self-taught, learning the classic techniques, experimenting new ones and trying several styles.
Nowadays I love mixed techniques. My Illustration style is a combination of old school drawing and modern digital painting. Rigorously handmade!
I like to draw people´s faces. I like to go through the appearance of what can be seen and dive into the hidden side. I like to show how I see them, how I feel them, how they look like in the colorful world of my mind.
I would not consider my Artworks as “mirror portraits”. I am not interested in replicating a copy of an existing original. What I like to express with my Art is what is beyond the common sight.

This is who I am. This is MariC.

I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait.
