Mara Bonofiglio , the contemporary artist behind M8BG, is a visual artist whose vibrant, figurative painting explores the evolving state of humanity and its deep connection to the intelligence of creation.
Through dynamic use of color, light, and form, her work communicates the sacredness of life, the beauty of the natural world, and the continuous rebirth of Mother Nature—seen as an inseparable part of the human experience.
​
Born in Turin in 1985, she developed an early passion for figurative art and craftsmanship, studying at the local Art Institute with a focus on life drawing and textile printing. She later earned a Master’s in Styling and Photography from IED Milan, which led her to work in fashion in London with brands like Etro and Burberry. During this time, she also studied at Central Saint Martins, enriching her creative language within an international and experimental environment.
​
A profound period of inner transformation marked a turning point: she traveled extensively and began exploring practices aimed at restoring the human being in its totality—body, mind, and spirit as one, in constant connection with the environment and universal energy. She delved into metaphysics, subconscious reprogramming, and bio-informational systems, becoming certified as a Theta Healing practitioner. This path led her to a new awareness: art is not only aesthetic expression but a tool for transformation and awakening.
​
Driven by an authentic need to express what she discovered within, Mara chose to fully dedicate herself to art. Her painting becomes a vehicle for sharing visions not only of beauty but of a new state of being—reflecting a shift from fragmented perception to unified consciousness, where humanity recognizes itself as part of nature and the cosmos.
