Artist Bio

For the past decade, 2014 to 2024, Marian Montagnino has explored the transformative and healing power of art. During a challenging time of breaking free from a tumultuous relationship marked by deep emotional pain, Marian rediscovered the joy of painting and sketching. This reconnection with a childhood passion became a source of solace, offering a way to process complex emotions and reflect on life’s challenges.

Drawing from a journey that includes meditation, contemplation of spirituality and its ties between ancient wisdom and the natural world, Marian's work often explores themes of inner balance and the elements of an organic universe. The contrast between darkness and light in past and present plays a key role in their style, inviting viewers to experience both the vulnerability and strength found in moments of transition.

These are more than just visual pieces—they are chapters of a story about healing, self-discovery, and the enduring connection between the inner self and the world beyond. Each piece represents a step forward, a celebration of life’s impermanence, and a testament to the beauty that can arise from even the darkest times.
