Artist Statement
We all carry a unique story, a journey filled with twists and turns that have shaped who we are today. These stories connect us, revealing the common threads that transform acquaintances into friendships. Through my art, I share my own narrative, drawing inspiration from life’s happenings, literature, music, emotions, and spiritual practices, often creating worlds touched with nuances of surrealism.
I believe the artist's job, my job, is to create work that speaks to one another, that forges a connection and reminds us what it means to be human; that we are a soul having a human experience. That our humanity is what unites us together, bringing purpose to our existence. And that we are capable of so much more.
"I'm always moved by what I perceive as a balance between whimsy and melancholy in Marisa's work. I feel like there's always space for the viewer to insert themselves, pause, take a look around. It's a really beautiful experience."
