The Higher We Soar

The project.

Volery Gallery is pleased to present “The Higher We Soar,” a solo exhibition by Japanese-Brazilian artist Mariana Oushiro , marking the culmination of the V-Residency program . Throughout her residency, Oushiro has developed a new body of work that pushes the boundaries of abstraction, inviting the viewer into a dynamic exploration of movement, perception, and spatial depth.

Oushiro’s distinctive practice merges bold strokes of color, sharp lines, and geometric forms , drawing from her dual cultural heritage . Influenced by the expressive vibrancy of Brazilian art and the precision of Japanese aesthetics , her compositions balance controlled structure with raw intensity. Each piece pulsates with energy, reflecting an interplay between order and chaos, intuition and calculation .
