Adriana G. Prat
About Adriana
Adriana is an academically trained scientist with a PhD in Biophysics. After moving to the USA from Argentina, a more introspective life revealed her call to become a visual artist. She acquired essential art skills in adult education centers while experimenting on her own with media and techniques.
The artist produces boldly colored and layered, oil- or acrylic-based non-representational paintings and other mixed media work. Her paintings often evoke maps, islands, or the cells of organisms, signaling that she has not abandoned her scientific tendencies. Text often plays a vital role in her painting process, manifested as script on the canvas surface itself. Poems, reflections, or words - although sometimes illegible - serve as mantras, textured foundations on which introspective journeys can be further explored and materialized on the painting.
Adriana has shown at open studios, galleries, alternative spaces, and museums, in both Argentina and the greater Boston area, and, through a recent residency, in Iceland. In addition to seeing Adriana's work in our space, you can schedule virtual studio visits at her Cambridge studio.
