Mariana Duarte Santos

︎ mariana95santos

Lisbon, 1995

Mariana Duarte Santos is a figurative artist focused on painting, drawing, printmaking, and public art.

Since 2019, she has created more than 80 murals in Portugal, Spain, Luxembourg, France, Italy, Denmark, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, and the United States.

Her studio work is heavily influenced by cinema and literature, while her public art mainly explores themes of memory, collective identity and local history, often using archival photographs as a starting point to create ambiguous images that tell stories open to interpretation by each observer.

One of Mariana’s murals can be found in Museu de Lisboa - Palácio Pimenta.

Currently, Duarte Santos’ works are on view in the exhibition Calafrio / Shiver at MNAC - Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea Lisbon (from 26 February to 10 May  2026).
