Artwork location: Brazil
This artwork presents a bustling and vibrant orchard scene, rich with life and activity. The artist masterfully captures an array of individuals engaged in the harvest of an abundant fruit grove. The painting's composition is meticulously detailed, showcasing a symphony of colors and textures that envision an autumnal harvest scene teeming with energy. At the forefront, the composition reveals industrious workers, both men and women, methodically picking fruits from densely packed trees. Their diverse postures and positions on ladders convey a sense of balanced chaos and diligence. The varied colors of their attire, coupled with the lush greenery of the orchard, create a lively mosaic. Each figure is absorbed in their task, contributing to a palpable sense of community and shared purpose. In the background, a vintage blue truck stands as a timeless emblem of farm life, adding both a rustic charm and a grounding focal point to the artwork. This vehicle is surrounded by more workers, some carrying baskets brimming with freshly picked fruits, highlighting the bountiful harvest. The truck’s presence not only emphasizes the scale of the operation but also adds a nostalgic touch that anchors the scene in a particular time and place. The orchard itself is depicted as lush and thriving, with the trees bearing a heavy crop. The detailed rendering of the foliage, with its myriad shades of green interspersed with the radiant hues of ripe fruit, speaks to the artist's keen observation and technical skill. Beyond the immediate action, the landscape stretches out, suggesting endless rows of trees under a serene blue sky speckled with soft, cotton-like clouds. The artist's use of light is particularly noteworthy; the interplay of sunlight and shadows enhances the three-dimensionality of the scene, drawing the viewer’s eye to different layers of activity. This masterful manipulation of light not only highlights the vibrancy of the setting but also imbues the entire scene with warmth and vitality. Overall, this artwork is a vivid celebration of agricultural life, capturing a moment of collective endeavor set against the backdrop of nature’s bounty. The meticulous detail, coupled with the vibrant color palette and dynamic composition, serves to create an immersive experience, inviting viewers to savor the richness and rhythm of the harvest season.

Presentation
Born in 1953 in Passo Fundo, a city in the south of Brazil. She started working at the age of 16 for a publishing house. Married with two children, she left for São Paulo where she had her first solo exhibition at the São Paulo Art Museum in 1983, invited by Professor Pietro Maria Bardi.
She also exhibits individually at the Uniao Cultural Brazil-EUA Gallery in São Paulo (1987), at the Nini Barontini Gallery in Curitiba (1996) and at the Jacques Ardies Gallery in São Paulo (2008). Abroad, she participates in several group exhibitions in the United States, Spain, Russia, Malaysia, France, Israel and Monaco, among others.
His compositions, inspired by the countryside and the tropical forest of Brazil, represent village scenes populated by beautiful, happy and very healthy people. Mara likes to represent the work during the harvest, but also other moments of the life of the countryside, such as the hours of relaxation and the festive commemorations.
