02. LUCUMA TEARS, 2025, NIA GALLERY, PRAGUE, CZ


    
NIA Gallery debuts the first European exhibition by Miami based artist Marianna Angel. Inspired by personal experiences, female personas, underground music and art scenes, fellow performance artists, and more, Angel’s wide-ranging approach to media is grounded by a strong conceptual voice. Writing, collage, drawing, video, and music form part of Angel’s repertoire, and become tools through which to address narratives of wellbeing, sexual life, and female empowerment.

Curated by Claire Breukel, Angel’s NIA Gallery debut exhibition is titled “Lucuma Tears”— Lucuma a healthy fruit that sustains the body, and tears being a double entendre of crying and of ripping or tearing, an action used in the artist’s work. For the exhibition, Angel has created a series of new collages that compile repurposed camera film, found objects and ephemera, into visual stories that express various states of being and suggest stories. This will be accompanied by an intimate text and video-based artworks.








                 



01. PULSO, 2024, TOMAS REDRADO GALLERY, MIAMI, FL


  
“Pulso” showcases the work of Guadalupe Reyna and Marianna Angel, two artists whose practices
explore the connections between personal memory, bodily autonomy, and societal expectations.
....
Marianna Angel’s work, in turn, navigates the deeply emotional realms of love, loss, and fractured identity. Her pieces carry a sense of longing as she weaves together memories and personal reflections, channeling the tension between heartache and self-expression. Angel’s work creates a fluid space where moments of the past are suspended, bound by words and images that evoke the
emotional weight of relationships and experiences.
Together, these artists open up a dialogue about the ways in which identity, sexuality, and the body
are shaped and remembered. Their work encourages us to reflect on the interplay between the personal and the collective, the intimate and the public, offering new perspectives on our relationships with memory, desire, and power.
