Ana Mariani’s work emerges from a lifelong conversation with trees, rivers, and ancient landscapes. Born in the state of Bolívar in southern Venezuela, she grew up in the vast region shaped by the Orinoco River and dense rainforest. These jungles, often described as a green lung of the planet, are more than 75 million years old and hold mythic plateaus and the sacred Autana—often evoked as a Tree of Life. This primordial landscape left a permanent imprint on her imagination.
