Born in South Africa and growing up in Mozambique, there is an evidence of her cultural background through Mafalda’s visual work. Through learning about her culture, the artist developed a unique artistic style which has a contemporary theme and aesthetic. Now residing in Melbourne, Mafalda continues to explore the female figure and soul, through a mystical concept.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-id=\"88ee60f\" class=\"themify_builder_row module_row clearfix repeat module_row_0 themify_builder_187_row module_row_187-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row_inner col_align_top\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-id=\"159622a\" class=\"module_column tb-column col4-3 last tb_187_column module_column_1 module_column_187-0-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tb-column-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-id=\"281cc6a\" class=\"module module-plain-text plain-text-187-0-1-0\" id=\"plain-text-187-0-1-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inspiration behind Mafalda's work is symbolism and spiritualism based in her Mozambican culture. The artworks she creates are based on souls rather than real human figures representing her ancestors from the Nharinga people of Mozambique. The stylised and symbolic features that suggest human form and express strong human emotions. Souls are similar to spirits, they transport our energy and emotion and so Mafalda explores that in her art.  She portrays the Mozambican women who have raised her and inspire her every day, like her mother , grandmother and great-grandmother. The colourful geometrical shapes and symbols are a language that Mafalda has developed through exploring the visual elements in art and in her own mixed and diverse background. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFollow Mafalda \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mmvce\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e@mmvce\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e450 pieces \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePuzzle dimensions:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e18 x 14\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBox dimensions: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5.6 x 5.6 x 6.4 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach JIGGY puzzle comes in a reusable glass jar and includes a tube of puzzle glue, a straight-edge tool to spread the glue and a print of the art to follow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JIGGY Puzzles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42605240057879,"sku":"OOO","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/8099\/9959\/files\/anathiopen.jpg?v=1753369773","url":"https:\/\/animeimports.net\/products\/anathi-mafalda-vasconcelos","provider":"Anime Imports LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
