Mariana Duarte Santos was born in 1995 in Lisbon, Portugal where she studied drawing and printmaking.
She’s had group and solo shows in Portugal, Spain, U.S.A., U.K. and in Ireland.
In 2019 she painted her first large mural and to date has over 60 murals, throughout Portugal, Spain, Luxembourg and Ireland.
When it comes to public art, the themes she works on are mostly focused in the concepts of memory, collective identity and local stories, thus archive pictures are key in her mural work.
