Mariela Durnhofer Rubolino was born in Paraguay and grew up in Argentina. She studied Communications at the University of Buenos Aires. She lives in New Zealand, Aotearoa. Mariela’s painting is largely intuitive; family constellations and kriya yoga became her elements allowing a kinetic flow that manifests unseen forces, creating a sense of depth and connection. Her abstract aesthetic blends impulses to elaborate fluctuating and recurring thoughts, emotions and experiences. Creative art, mental health and wellbeing underpin surreal messages in her studio in Paraparaumu.
