The miserable

Written by 

 

This is a character created by designer Mariana Costa who wants to exorcise through design , the demons that haunt her as well as the angels who abhors her, all mixed with the touch of very peculiar humor.

Why Mariana, your alter- ego is so miserable ?
Mariana Costa : Because I am too.

If the Mariana was not so miserable, what could have been when she grew up in a parallel universe .
MC : I always liked to think it would have been a great florist . I like the idea of always earn the same at the end of the month and have weekends and holidays.

The character has much of your Portuguese way ? Or not really?
MC : The name appeared by chance, but served as a glove. For me it was easier to advance as Mariana, the miserable because it felt I was passing the responsibility to someone else. First up stories about this character as " she sold her heart in a gift shop to pay for the water bill ," but after a while I realized that this character is me and began to tell a little of my own story.

She has a somewhat crude draw, was something purposeful, when you imagined it? MC : The rough dash is to make use of my clumsiness and natural for disaster in my favor trend. I like making mistakes on purpose so it had that note .

How does an idea arise for an illustration? It's your daily life that inspires you ?
MC : It depends on the project, if it is a book , I'm conditioned to the text, if it is an exhibition with a theme is already set I will have to observe that, if it is a request also has certain limitations, until now most of the drawings were made freely and without doubt that what inspires me is life, are the people that surround me, is what I see every day, recent or ancient of other artists , who tell me things, things I read , things I feel , work conclusions I draw .

What is harder for you in your very personal creative process ?
MC : It's hard when I cannot give the ideal answer for a particular work before the delivery date idea. Usually I end up remembering a better solution months later.

How do you see the look of others in relation to your work ?
MC : I like it when somebody sees itself in my work or who perfectly understands the message, the content is the most important.

How do you see Mariana , the designer, the world around you ?
MC : I see myself as not a practicing designer, ie , my training is design is not my profession , I sometimes work for some friends , but surely that's not what I do in the future . I think, however, that I apply in my work unconsciously many of the things I learned in college .
