Arianna's Story
Arianna Mao is a professional visual effects and animation artist who works primarily in lighting and compositing, and an ambitious enthusiast of painting.
She has worked with acrylic media and oil pastels, but recently began her journey into the fascinating world of watercolours.
Arianna Mao is deeply interest in the palimpsest of history and culture. Growing up in the Lower Mainland, she draws inspiration from the region’s rich heritage, blending traditional and modern elements in her work.
Her approach to painting, whether in watercolour or acrylic, is to create visual narratives that invite viewers to engage with the ongoing dialogue between past and present, capturing the essence of the Lower Mainland’s evolving cultural landscape.
