Step into the surreal world of Maridad Studio where her figurative illustrations blur the lines between desire and consumption. Each piece from her ever-growing collection (since 2016) is thoughtfully selected and paired with a unique vintage frame, creating a timeless blend of art and history. Perfect for collectors and gift givers alike, these framed works bring warmth, charm, and sophistication to any space.
Jennifer Pate, the artist behind Maridad Studio creates whimsical yet thought provoking figurative illustrations that tap into the uncanny and imaginative spaces of mundane life. Based in Austin, TX, the artist is constantly absorbing new inspiration from the culturally diverse food scene, uniquely crafted cocktails, and personal interests in exploring and understanding the nature of the world around her. By reflecting on her own experience as a Hispanic Queer female artist, Jenn produces surreal depictions as a way to expand on limiting structures of identity. What started in 2017 as a meditation on temptation has since evolved into an ever-growing series that binds her penchant for figure drawing and interest in movement, body language, health, and sexuality.
