About
MARIZ NIGRO:
mixed media artist and illustrator
Mariz Nigro wants to unravel the nostalgia of personal yet sometimes shared memories.
She uses a mixture of media, and both narrative and abstract imagery, to shine a light on the in between spaces where time stands still. The things unsaid, the people missing, history hidden or untold.
Like the question of whether a scream is a scream if nobody hears it, she gives the objects and characters in her paintings an ambiguity of existence.
Originally from Argentina, but living and working in the UK for nearly 10 years, she brings an element of remoteness to the local zeitgeist.
Features:
Mariz Nigro has been featured in the Bible 2021 and 2022 of International Fashion Illustrators, and a shortlisted artist three years in a row of the FIDA Worldwide Awards of Fashion Illustration.
Her art was featured by Alexander McQueen on London Piccadilly Circus, New York and Rome for a project during 2020.
She has exhibited in various art shows in the UK, the latest being in support of the Beatrix Potter Foundation.
