Mariana Tof

Mariana Torres is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting and sculpture, exploring themes of ritual, pleasure, and healing through everyday objects and spaces. Originally from Chihuahua and now based in Mexico City, she creates ceremonial objects like ceramic daggers and altars that evoke baroque dramatism while serving both contemplative and ritualistic purposes. Her paintings move between abstraction and figuration, where abstract works serve as meditative spaces while figurative pieces explore intuitive narratives. In her series focusing on bathroom interiors, Torres transforms mundane spaces into hieratic environments charged with emotional significance. Torres approaches individual healing as a political act, challenging social systems through works that invite introspection and emotional restoration, emphasizing the power of finding meaning in common spaces and daily rituals.
