MARA - The artist reshaping Montpellier

Listen to the episode

Mara is a versatile artist, navigating between galleries and urban art. Since childhood, drawing has been his natural means of expressing his ideas.

In 2011, he gave life to a singular character with a cross-shaped face, who has become the protagonist of his stories to this day.

This character embodies universality while remaining enigmatic.

Later discovering the art of graffiti in Montpellier, Mara adapted her character to a new canvas: collage. Her creations gradually spread across the city's walls, showing a vision of the world with humor, cynicism and inventiveness.

With her human-sized collages, Mara encourages viewers to reflect on crucial issues of our time, such as ecology and technology, as well as more intimate aspects of human existence and love.

The public's critical mind is challenged by these works, which engage everyone in a reflection on society and its future.

We had the pleasure of chatting with MARA about art, the creative process, her inspirations and her fears.
