Luciana Mariano, a third-generation naïve painter, was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. Although she immersed herself in drawing and painting from a very young age, she never considered it a professional possibility, with her artistic inclinations even facing discouragement within her family. For 38 years, she painted in secret, often destroying her work due to shyness about her unique, seemingly childish style. A pivotal moment arrived with a highly successful debut exhibition in 2008, which finally empowered her to believe in her artistic calling. Since that turning point, her vibrant work has been featured in countless international exhibitions and prestigious events. Having obtained Finnish citizenship in 2023, Luciana is now embarking on an exciting new chapter, relaunching her career in Finland with aspirations to create a meaningful legacy in her beautiful new homeland and continent.
