Description from the seller
At the center of it all that light — white, almost silvery — that radiates outward like the heart of a forest that no one has ever truly walked through. Around, the greens multiply in every possible shade: the dark green of shadows, the bright green of young leaves, the old and patinated green of moss on stones. And then, scattered like seeds of light in the dark lower part, those small white points — tiny, stubborn presences, like stars fallen among the roots. Mara builds here a vegetal world that breathes from within, governed by its own logic, distant from noise. There is something wild and sacred together in this work: the green does not invite entry, yet one cannot stop looking. Like all places that exist only for those who know how to stop long enough.

Mara J. explores the beauty and intensity of nature and the human body, creating works that tell emotions and states of mind through light and form. Her landscapes evoke fluid and suspended atmospheres, where color and luminosity shape space, while human figures, delicate and introspective, become a means of emotional expression. Each painting is an invitation to immerse oneself in a world of subtle sensations, where nature and the human being intertwine in a deep dialogue.
