Tarnia Marmolajo b. 1975, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic ​ Tania Marmolejo’s distinctive Caribbean heritage and Scandinavian roots have greatly influenced her approach to creating contemporary art. Tania studied graphic design and illustration in Norway before returning to the Dominican Republic to pursue fine art at the Altos de Chavón School of Design. In 1998, she earned the Bluhdorn Scholarship, allowing her to continue her education at Parsons School of Design in New York, where she graduated with a degree in Fine Art and Illustration in 2000. ​ Her artistry is a powerful exploration of the human experience, transcending conventional boundaries and redefining the world of figurative art. Through her mesmerizing large-scale paintings, she delves into the complexities of gender, identity, and cultural heritage, drawing from her unique Swedish-Dominican roots. Marmolejo Andersson skillfully weaves a mysterious realm of enigmatic female portraits that elicit deep emotions and empathy in viewers, while simultaneously addressing social issues and promoting women empowerment.
