Mariela Limerutti´s artistic topics and motives are daily behavior as well as elements like clouds, earth, flowers and water, with whose help she creates a new view manner on the reality. Her works intervene into everyday routines and they are understood as an act of public life, which include mixed social groups and bring to each other in relationship. Art becomes an excuse to put the casual passerby or inhabitant of the place where the work is installed, in the protagonist of her interventions.
