Her vulnerability is her power. In her works, illustrations and cartoons, Maremoto shows dissident bodies, large, strong and colorful, accompanied by personal reflections on mental health, sexuality and gender identity, growing up and being part of the LGBTQ community, feminism, the search for one's place in the world.
Mariana Lorenzo is Maremoto, a Mexican textile designer, illustrator and visual artist. She has spent her life drawing and writing about what happens to her, what hurts her, what angers her and what makes her happy. Mar, as other close friends also call her, was born and raised in Mexico City, a place she loves and hates at the same time, a city of inspiration for its people but also for its social conflicts, which encourage her to express herself and raise her voice through her illustrations.
From a feminist perspective, Maremoto reflects on the importance of the visual. She uses illustration as a tool to process her feelings and doubts; and as they come, to expose to the world what she has to say. Maremoto's illustrations have managed to transcend social networks to become authentic symbols of sisterhood and struggle in feminist protests. Her voice and heart are in each of her strokes, as long as she draws what makes her happy, her style does not seek to consolidate but to change and evolve according to her personality and environment.
