Mariana Santos, known as" Mariana, a miserável" (the miserable one), was born in 1986 in Leiria, Portugal. When she was a small child, her dream was to be a florist but, soon enough, she entered a life of "misery, cesspit and rock'n'roll". One step behind the fall and a marriage of convenience, she sold her heart in a souvenir store to pay the bills. She studied graphic design at Escola Superior de Artes e Design (Caldas da Rainha), where she developped her taste for "not-knowing-how-to-draw". Develops and participates in numerous solo and group exhibitions of illustration. Attended the Masters in Graphic Design and Editorial Projects by the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto. Besides studying, she is involved in a number of illustration projects: she is the Director of Illustration at JUP, she takes part in many exhibitions (collective or solo), small publications, collective murals and she oftens design posters for her friends as well as calendars, magazines and books. 2015 12 JAN : illustration for jornal i about Chalie Hebdo 13 JAN : little solo show - galeria artes&artistas, Porto 16 JAN : "Portugal, quem és tu?" - Pavilhão do Conhecimento, Lisboa 23 JAN : launch of my first collaboration with Teresa Gameiro 26 JAN : illustration for Noveaux vegan german magazine 14 FEB : "Olhares de mulheres" collective show - Mercearia de Arte Alves&Silvestre, Coimbra 14 FEB : show with Maria Imaginário - galleria Abysmo, Lisboa 20 FEB : UIVO collective show - Torre Lidador, Maia 21 MAR : "Espigar das gentes", Locomotiva - Porto 27 SET : Quintas de Leitura - Teatro do Campo Alegre, Porto 2014
