About the artist:

Mando Marie (b. 1981, American) is an American-born painter whose practice is defined by a distinctive blend of nostalgia-infused illustration, twin imagery, and storytelling that moves between comforting and subtly spooky. While rooted in stencil tradition, her work stands apart through its unmistakably painterly approach, layered brushwork, nuanced shading, intentional overspray, and hand-sanding that lends each piece a timeless, lived-in surface. The result is a visual language that begins with stencil but expands far beyond it. You recognize a Mando painting immediately.

Through her refined use of stencil, acrylic, and screenprint techniques, Mando constructs painted worlds that drift between childhood memory and quiet mystery, scenes that feel familiar yet gently haunting. Her work consistently examines duality, repetition, and the understated psychology embedded in narrative imagery.

Dividing her time between Amsterdam and Portugal, Mando maintains a deeply focused, introspective studio practice. Her recurring figures, girls, young women, animals, and ghostlike presences, inhabit environments reminiscent of forests, dreamscapes, and fragments of vintage storybooks. Ranging from intimate works to monumental murals, her compositions carry an emotional openness: a sense of wonder edged with a darker, lingering mood beneath the surface.

For more than two decades, Mando has exhibited widely across Europe, North America, and Asia, with murals, installations, and gallery exhibitions that have shaped her reputation as a singular voice in contemporary painting. Her work resonates with viewers through its nostalgia, softness, and quiet force, images that feel drawn from a collective memory, familiar yet just beyond reach.
