Mariona Lloreta-Ribalta

In 2008, Mariona Lloreta-Ribalta arrived in the U.S. with a thirst for discovery and the determination to explore cultures beyond the boundaries of her native Barcelona. It was a move that encapsulates her approach to life - a constant, fearless self-challenge to seek out and embrace the new. She landed in Los Angeles, where the eclectic art scene inspired her to release a burgeoning passion for visual art. Mariona, also a gifted musician and dancer, draws inspiration from a variety of elements that touch her soul. "When I create, I'll get inspired by a certain person or an intimate emotion, which I try to deconstruct in my mind and put back together as close to essence as I can." This process serves to transform these emotions into the bold visual metaphors and symbols that have come to define Mariona's distinct personal style of purity and freedom.
